  2. 1. 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.

  4. 2. Yang-Mills Theory in Gauge-Invariant Variables and Geometric Formulation of Quantum Field Theories

    Author : Sergey Slizovskiy; Antti Niemi; Andrey Losev; Andrey Marshakov; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Yang-Mills theory; spin-charge separation; Kaluza-Klein theory; branes; curved beta-gamma systems; Mathematical physics; Matematisk fysik; Theoretical Physics; Teoretisk fysik;

    Abstract : In Part I we are dealing with effective description of Yang-Mills theories based on gauge-invarint variables. For pure Yang-Mills we study the spin-charge separation varibles. The dynamics in these variables resembles the Skyrme-Faddeev model. READ MORE

  5. 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.

  7. 5. Phenomenological studies of dimensional deconstruction

    Author : Tomas Hällgren; Tommy Ohlsson; Stefan Antusch; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dimensional deconstruction; higher-dimensional gauge theories; neu- trino mixing; neutrino oscillations; universal extra dimensions; ADD models; Ka- luza{Klein dark matter; Other physics; Övrig fysik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, two applications of dimensional deconstruction are studied. The first application is a model for neutrino oscillations in the presence of a large decon- structed extra dimension. In the second application, Kaluza{Klein dark matter from a latticized universal extra dimension is studied. The goal of these projects have been twofold. READ MORE
