Modern approaches to the detection and imaging of rare particle interactions through
gaseous and dual-phase time projection chambers are discussed. We introduce and …

We report results of a search for light (<? format?>≲ 10 GeV) particle dark matter with the
XENON10 detector. The event trigger was sensitive to a single electron, with the analysis …

We report results from a blind analysis of the final data taken with the Cryogenic Dark Matter
Search experiment (CDMS II) at the Soudan Underground Laboratory, Minnesota, USA. A …

Dark matter direct detection searches for signals coming from dark matter scattering against
nuclei at a very low recoil energy scale∼ 10 keV. In this paper, a simple non-relativistic …

While, to ensure successful cosmology, dark matter (DM) must kinematically decouple from
the standard model plasma very early in the history of the Universe, it can remain coupled to …

We consider current observational constraints on the electromagnetic charge of dark matter.
The velocity dependence of the scattering cross section through the photon gives rise to …

The XENON100 dark matter experiment uses liquid xenon (LXe) in a time projection
chamber (TPC) to search for xenon nuclear recoils resulting from the scattering of dark …

The EDELWEISS-II Collaboration has completed a direct search for WIMP dark matter with
an array of ten 400-g cryogenic germanium detectors in operation at the Laboratoire …

Dark matter is a milestone in the understanding of the Universe and a portal to the discovery
of new physics beyond the Standard Model of particles. The direct search for dark matter has …

The velocity distribution function of dark matter particles is expected to show significant
departures from a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution. This can have profound effects on the …
