Detecting cold dark-matter candidates

Drukier, Andrzej K., Freese, Katherine, Spergel, David N.·1986·Physical Review D

Abstract

We consider the use of superheated superconducting colloids as detectors of weakly interacting galactic-halo candidate particles (e.g., photinos, massive neutrinos, and scalar neutrinos). We discuss realistic models for the detector and for the galactic halo. We show that the expected count rate (\ensuremath{\approxeq}${10}^{3}$ count/day for scalar and massive neutrinos) exceeds the expected background by several orders of magnitude. For photinos, we expect \ensuremath{\approxeq}1 count/day, more than 100 times the predicted background rate. We find that if the detector temperature is maintained at 50 mK and using SQUID electronic read out with the system, noise is reduced below 5\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}4}$ flux quanta, particles with mass as low as 2 GeV can be detected. Any particle capable of resolving the solar-neutrino problem by altering energy transport in the Sun can be detected. We show that Earth's motion around the Sun can produce a significant annual modulation in the signal.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
