Prospects and Methods for SolarWeakly Interacting Massive Particles Searches

摘要

Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are attractive particle candidates to explain the observational evidence of dark matter. Identifying the particle properties of WIMPs, such as mass, self-interaction cross section and scattering cross sections could lead the way to a fundamental theory describing both matter and dark matter. Neutrino telescopes provide some of the best constraints on WIMP-Nucleon scattering through Solar WIMP searches. In this document we discuss how to improve the sensitivity of present day and at next generation instruments including those for low-mass WIMPs ?
