Review of dark matter searches and comments on CMO DM
search
International Workshop on Double Beta Decay Search, SNU, Seoul, October 15-17 2009
• historically direct underground DM searches started as a by-product of neutrinoless double-beta decay experiments• not a review on experiment – I will discuss the motivation for DM searches and why CaMoO4 coul be used to search for WIMPS
* For a review on cryogenic DM searches see tomorrow’s talk by Y.H. Kim
*
Evidence for Dark Matter
•Spiral galaxies• rotation curves
•Clusters & Superclusters• Weak gravitational lensing• Strong gravitational lensing• Galaxy velocities• X rays
•Large scale structure• Structure formation
•CMB anisotropy: WMAP• Ωtot=1• Ωdark energy~0.7• Ωmatter~ 0.27• Ωbaryons~0.05• Ωvisible~0.005
Ωdark matter~ 0.22
The concordance model
stable (protected by a conserved quantum number)
no charge, no colour (weakly interacting)
cold, non dissipative relic abundance compatible to
observation motivated by theory (vs. “ad hoc”)
The properties of a good Dark Matter candidate:
subdominant candidates – variety is common in Nature →may be easier to detect
*
(Incomplete) List of DM candidates
•Neutrinos•Axions•Lightest Supersymmetric particle (LSP) – neutralino, sneutrino, axino•Lighest Kaluza-Klein Particle (LKP) •Heavy photon in Little Higgs Models•Solitons (Q-balls, B-balls)• Black Hole remnants•Hidden-sector tecnipions•…
Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs)
Particles with mass between a few GeV and a few TeV with cross sections of aproximately weak strength
The idea was introduced 35 years ago for massive neutrinos.Now neutrinos are ruled out, but there is no shortage of alternative WIMPs!
acronym “WIMP” eventually coined in mid ‘80
WIMP=Weakly Interacting Massive Particle
Kolb, Turner, The Early Universe
page 310
Pioneering work on direct DM searches @ Homestake mine in late ’80s:
few GeV<M<few TeV excluded both for neutrinos ad sneutrinos
however, today the sneutrino is not completely dead (rescaling due to relic density not applied to the signal at the time, see later)

most popular thermal WIMP candidates from particle physics (solve hierarchy problem: MW/MPl~ 10-16)
•susy

K-parity

•extra dimensions
•little Higgs
B(1)(KK photon)
BH (heavy photon)
all thermal candidates, massive, with weak-type interactions (WIMPs)
The thermal cosmological density of a WIMP X is given by
ΩXh2 ~ 1/<σannv>int
<σannv>int=∫<σannv>dxxf
x0
xf=M/Tf
x0=M/T0
Tf=freeze-out temperature
T0=present (CMB) temperature
Xf>>1, X non relativistic at decoupling, low temp expansion for <σannv>:
<σannv>~a+b/xif σann ~0.1 pbarn (weak-type interactions) → ΩX~0.1-1
…+ cohannihilations with other particle(s) close in mass + resonant annihilations
New physics at the TeV scale (“WIMP Miracle”)
Weakly Interacting Massive Particles can be detected!
The same class of interactions that keeped WIMPS in thermal equilibrium in the early Universe could allow their detection today

WIMP direct detection
Elastic recoil of non relativistic halo WIMPs off the nuclei of an underground detector
Recoil energy of the nucleus in the keV range Yearly modulation effect due to the rotation of the Earth
around the Sun (the relative velocity between the halo, usually assumed at rest in the Galactic system, and the detector changes during the year)

The KK photon in Universal Extra Dimensions (UED)[Appelquist, Cheng, Dobrescu, PRD67 (2000) 035002]
•all SM fields propagate in the 5th dimension•dispersion relation in 5 dim:
implies an infinite tower of KK massive states in the effective 4-dim theory, since p5=n/R (R-1>300 GeV from EW tests, n=0,1,2,3…)•compactification on S1/Z2: allows to get rid of unwanted dof at zero level→translational invariance broken in 5th dim•residual invariance under discrete πR translations→KK parity (-1)n

Annual modulation of WIMP direct detection in a nutshell
Expected rate: R=R0+Rm cos[ω(t-t0)]
ω=2π/(1 year) t0=2 june
Rm/R0~5÷10 % (few percent effect)
If N=# of events, assuming a 5% effect a 5 σ discovery requires:
5/100 X N > 5 X N½
modulation amplitude poissonian fluctuation
⇒ N > 10.000 eventsN~ (incoming flux) x Ntargets x (cross section) x (exposition time)
expected rates: 0.1 events/kg/day
⇒ a few x 100 kg x day required
hard to do: need large masses, low backgrounds, operational stability over long times…

Systematic uncertaintyFitting, Quenching factorenergy resolution...combined in quadrature~ 15% higher than w/o syst.
no light target in CsI → in principle Na in DAMA more sensitive for mwimp 20 GeV (but maybe not if channeling is important)≲for mwimpo 20 GeV ≳ KIMS limit does not depend on scaling law for cross sections
Quenching• in ionizators or scintillators the energy of a recoiling nucleus is partially transferred to electrons which carry the signal• q = quenching factor = fraction of nuclear recoil energy converting to ionization or scintillation (q=1 for γ ’s from calibration)• simplistic view: recoiling nucleus experiences low stopping power of surrounding electronic cloud for kinematical reasons (mass mismatch between nucleus and single electrons) • most of the energy is converted to lattice vibrations (heat)• q~0.09 for I, q~0.23 for Na, q~0.3 for Ge. Measured with monoenergetic neutron beam• standard theory: Lindhard et al., Mat. Fys. Medd. K. Dan. Vidensk. Selsk. 33 (1963) 1; SRIM code• a useful application: dual read-out (bolometer + ionizator, bolometer + scintillator) allows discrimination between nuclear recoils (signal) and background (γ ’s and β’s) (CDMS, Edelweiss)
Channeling effect in crystals(Dobryshevsky, arXiv:0706.3095, Bernabei et al., arxiv:07100288)
•anomalous deep penetration of ions into crystalline targets discovered a long time ago (1957, 4 keV 134CS+ observed to penetrate λ~ 1000 Å in Ge, according to Lindhard theory λ~ 44 Å)•when the ion recoils along one crystallographic axis it only encounters electrons → long penetration depth and q~1
C2~3, d=interatomic spacing
a0=0.529 Å (Bohr radius)
critical angle:
• the channeling effect is only relevant at low recoil energies (<150 keV)•detector response enhanced → smaller WIMP cross sections needed to produce the same effect → smaller threshold on recoil energy and sensitivity to lighter masses
N.B.:• this effect was neglected so far in the analysis of WIMP searches. It is expected in crystal scintillators and ionizators (Ge, NaI)• no enhancement in liquid noble gas experiments (XENON10, ZEPLIN)• channeled events are lost using PSD in scintillators• channeled events are lost using double read-out discrimination (CDMS, Edelweiss)• quenching measurements are not sensitive enough to see channeled events (q=1 peak broadened by energy resolution)

Comment on CaMoO4 and Dark Matter direct detection
• neutrinoless double-beta search (Q=3034 keV) high threshold•Second cryogenic phase might eventually reach low threshold (<10 keV) and good resolution for DM searches •Low background needed (<<0.1 counts/kg/day/keV @low energy) → discriminating technique using phonons and scintillation at the same time•Molibdenium enriched in 100Mo, no isotopes with spin → only sensitive to coherent interaction•Oxygen sensitive to low WIMP mass, Mo to high WIMP mass
