  1. 1. Searches for Dark Matter with IceCube and DeepCore : New constraints on theories predicting dark matter particles

    Author : Matthias Danninger; Klas Hultqvist; Patrick Decowski; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dark matter; neutrinos; neutrino telescopes; IceCube; DeepCore; dark matter experiments; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : The cubic-kilometer sized IceCube neutrino observatory, constructed in the glacial ice at the South Pole, searches indirectly for dark matter via neutrinos from dark matter self-annihilations. It has a high discovery potential through striking signatures. READ MORE

  2. 2. A Search for Dark Matter in the Sun with AMANDA and IceCube

    Author : Olle Engdegård; Olga Botner; Allan Hallgren; Jodi Cooley; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dark matter; WIMP; neutralino; MSSM; Kaluza-Klein; IceCube; AMANDA; neutrino telescope; Fysik med inriktning mot elementarpartikelfysik; Physics with specialization in Elementary Particle Physics;

    Abstract : A search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) annihilating in the Sun was performed with the IceCube and AMANDA neutrino telescopes, using data from 2008 corresponding to 149 days of livetime. Assuming that particles in the dark matter halo scatter and accumulate in the centre of the Sun, Majorana WIMPs may pair-wise annihilate and give rise to a neutrino signal detectable in an experiment at Earth.

  3. 3. Astrophysical and Collider Signatures of Extra Dimensions

    Author : Henrik Melbéus; Tommy Ohlsson; Jörn Kersten; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Extra-dimensional quantum field theories; universal extra dimensions; Kaluza-Klein dark matter; Arkani-Hamed-Dimopoulos-Dvali model; hierarchy problem; neutrino mass; seesaw mechanism; Large Hadron Collider phenomenology; Elementary particle physics; Elementarpartikelfysik;

    Abstract : In recent years, there has been a large interest in the subject of extra dimensions in particle physics. In particular, a number of models have been suggested which provide solutions to some of the problems with the current Standard Model of particle physics, and which could be tested in the next generation of high-energy experiments.

  4. 4. Particle Phenomenology of Compact Extra Dimensions

    Author : Henrik Melbéus; Tommy Ohlsson; Andrea Romanino; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Higher-dimensional quantum field theories; universal extra dimensions; Arkani-Hamed–Dimopolous–Dvali ADD model; hierarchy problem; Kaluza– Klein dark matter; neutrino mass; seesaw mechanism; leptonic mixing; renormalization group running; collider phenomenology; Large Hadron Collider;

    Abstract : This thesis is an investigation of the subject of extra dimensions in particle physics. In recent years, there has been a large interest in this subject. In particular, a number of models have been suggested that provide solutions to some of the problem with the current Standard Model of particle physics. READ MORE

  5. 5. The Dark Side of the Universe

    Author : Martin Eriksson; Lars Bergström; Pierre Salati; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Astroparticle physics; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : The dark side of the Universe presents astroparticle physics with its most outstanding challenge to date. As observational cosmology in recent years has reached a level of unprecedented accuracy, we have learned that there is very little in the Universe that we know much about, and very much about which we know very little.
