This report provides an extensive review of the experimental programme of direct detection
searches of particle dark matter. It focuses mostly on European efforts, both current and …

The existence of dark matter as evidenced by numerous indirect observations is one of the
most important indications that there must be physics beyond the Standard Model of particle …

The identity of dark matter is a question of central importance in both astrophysics and
particle physics. In the past, the leading particle candidates were cold and collisionless, and …

We propose a comprehensive theory of dark matter that explains the recent proliferation of
unexpected observations in high-energy astrophysics. Cosmic ray spectra from ATIC and …

Ettore Majorana (1906–1938) disappeared while traveling by ship from Palermo to Naples
in 1938. His fate has never been fully resolved and several articles have been written that …

In recent decades, several detector technologies have been developed with the quest to
directly detect dark matter interactions and to test one of the most important unsolved …

We review the theoretical and phenomenological aspects of the Next-to-Minimal
Supersymmetric Standard Model: the Higgs sector including radiative corrections and the 2 …

Current upper bounds on the neutron electric dipole moment constrain the physically
observable quantum chromodynamic (QCD) vacuum angle| θ¯|≲ 10− 11. Since QCD …

We report results of a search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPS) with the
silicon detectors of the CDMS II experiment. This blind analysis of 140.2 kg day of data taken …

We consider a simple class of models in which the relic density of dark matter is determined
by the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. In these models a BL asymmetry generated at …
