The PICO-2L program: Towards Background-Free Dark Matter Direct Detection Using Bubble Chambers
The PICO-2L program commenced in 2013 with the deployment of a 2 litre bubble chamber filled with superheated C3F8 and over the next three years, conducted two separate WIMP-search experiments. The first run was conducted at 4 different energy thresholds ranging from 3.2 keV to 8.1 keV and a total …

Comparing Even Isotope Xenon Form Factors and Their Impact on Dark Matter Direct Detection
I go over evidence for dark matter and different theories and particles that have been proposed to be potential dark matter candidates. I then go over how physicists search for dark matter. I also introduce DarkSUSY and use DarkSUSY to check open parameter space in the Minimal Supersymmetric …

An analysis of the sensitivity of a low pressure time projection chamber to a directional anisotropy due to WIMP interactions
The Dark Matter Time Projection Chamber (DMTPC) collaboration is a dark matter direct detection effort which develops TPCs to observe and reconstruct nuclear recoils generated by incident particles. If some of these recoils are the result of dark matter interactions, we can in theory observe an …

Phenomenological aspects of the E6SSM
… inert neutralino sector of the model and on the dark matter implications. The E6SSM is a string theory inspired supersymmetric extension to the Standard Model with an E6 grand unification group. The model provides a solution to the hierarchy problem of the Standard Model, provides an explanation …

Dark Matter Search with the PICO-40L Bubble Chamber
The identity of dark matter remains one of the largest unsolved mysteries in modern physics, with international efforts going towards dark matter direct detection. The PICO collaboration, which operates bubble chambers in the search for WIMP-like dark matter, is currently operating the PICO-40L …

Searches for New Physics at the Large Hadron Collider
… images of events detected at the planned XENONnT dark matter detector. The variational autoencoder model is trained exclusively on electron recoil background images and builds a profile of the properties of these images. When the model is then exposed to a new dataset which includes a mixture of …

The Cryogenic Dark Matter Search low ionization-threshold experiment
Over 80 years ago we discovered the presence of Dark Matter in our universe. Endeavors in astronomy and cosmology are in consensus with ever improving precision that Dark Matter constitutes an essential 27% of our universe. The Standard Model of Particle Physics does not provide any answers to the …
