2. 1. A Search for Solar Neutralino Dark Matter with the AMANDA-II Neutrino Telescope

   Author : Thomas Burgess; Christian Walck; Alessandro de Angelis; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dark matter; AMANDA; Supersymmetry; WIMP; Neutralino; Neutrino; IceCube; Astroparticle physics; Astroparticle physics; Astropartikelfysik; Physics; fysik;

   Abstract : A relic density of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) remaining from the Big Bang constitutes a promising solution to the Dark Matter problem. It is possible for such WIMPs to be trapped by and accumulate in gravitational potentials of massive dense objects such as the Sun. READ MORE

4. 2. Search for Supersymmetry and Large Extra Dimensions with the ATLAS Experiment

   Author : Gabriele Bertoli; Christophe Clement; Martijn Mulders; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ATLAS; CERN; large extra dimensions; supersymmetry; compressed; squark; neutralino; monojet; ADD; standard model; fysik; Physics;

   Abstract : The Large Hadron Collider is the most powerful particle accelerator built to date. It is a proton-proton and heavy ion collider which in 2015 and 2016 operated at an unprecedented center of mass energy of √s = 13 TeV. The Tile Calorimeter is the ATLAS hadronic calorimeter covering the central region of the detector. READ MORE

5. 3. Search for Charginos and Sleptons in ATLAS and Identification of Pile-up with the Tile Calorimeter

   Author : Pawel Klimek; Christophe Clément; Barbro Åsman; Freya Blekman; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ATLAS experiment; particle physics; high energy physics; supersymmetry; SUSY; beyond standard model; chargino; neutralino; slepton; vector boson fusion; VBF; Tile calorimeter; TileCal; pile-up; quality factor; Large Hadron Collider; LHC; CERN; fysik; Physics;

   Abstract : The standard model of particle physics (SM) describes the elementary particles and their interactions. Supersymmetry (SUSY), a symmetry beyond those included in the standard model could resolve some of the SM shortcomings. It can provide a candidate for Dark Matter and a solution to the hierarchy problem. READ MORE

6. 4. 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.

7. 5. Dark Matter in the Galactic Halo : A Search Using Neutrino Induced Cascades in the DeepCore Extension of IceCube

   Author : Henric Taavola; Olga Botner; Allan Hallgren; Carlos Perez de los Heros; Jodi Cooley; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dark matter; WIMP; neutralino; MSSM; neutrino telescope; IceCube; DeepCore; Galactic halo; Fysik med inriktning mot elementarpartikelfysik; Physics with specialization in Elementary Particle Physics;

   Abstract : A search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) annihilating in the dark matter halo of the Milky Way was performed, using data from the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and its low-energy extension DeepCore. The data were collected during one year between 2011 to 2012 corresponding to 329.1 days of detector livetime. READ MORE
