And its also great to see people drop the WIMP paradigm and look for very light DM particles.<br /><br />Let me point out a recent CMS result (following close behind a CDF result) in which the monojet data rule out DM particles well below 1 GeV.<br /><br />See Fig. 4 in http://arxiv.org/abs/1206.5663<br /><br />MichaelMichaelhttp://muon.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846514233477399562.post-3553645840086204462012-06-13T15:32:10.808+01:002012-06-13T15:32:10.808+01:00Very Smart Troll :-)Very Smart Troll :-)Jesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08947218566941608850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846514233477399562.post-52528579957185332002012-06-13T14:30:46.527+01:002012-06-13T14:30:46.527+01:00Yay, more exclusions.

Although I am may not sure how exciting it is to exclude models already excluded by correct theories of nature that include moduli decay in the early universe.

DAMIC relies on measuring the usual nuclear recoil, but reduces the noise so as to be able to detect very small recoils. Still, going far below a GeV may not be possible with this method.Jesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08947218566941608850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846514233477399562.post-63122746818149651342012-06-13T00:48:06.655+01:002012-06-13T00:48:06.655+01:00There's this one:

But, of course, until we identify the nature of the dark matter particle we cannot be 100% sure it exists.Jesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08947218566941608850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846514233477399562.post-49354606893121857512012-06-12T23:00:52.708+01:002012-06-12T23:00:52.708+01:00What are the chances that dark matter is just the ...What are the chances that dark matter is just the error margin of current theories? To assume that current theories are 100% precise can be dangerous, we must remember that they are models, not a source code.campistanoreply@blogger.com
