LNGS: N. SPOONER - GALACTIC SIGNATURES AND DIRECTIONAL DETECTION OF PARTICLE DARK MATTER - THE CYGNUS PROJECT AND PROBING BELOW THE NEUTRINO FLOOR
LABORATORI NAZIONALI DEL GRAN SASSO
I'll briefly review the arguments for and status of particle dark matter searches and then focus on the possibility of looking for a definitive galactic signature. There have been several hints for WIMP dark matter over the years. There are new efforts to study this, for instance DM-ICE at the South Pole. I'll describe the efforts and latest results then focus on prospects for a directional signal using gas Time Projection Chamber technology including the new CYGNUS global collaboration aiming to deploy targets at multiple latitudes deep underground. --- Neil Spooner University of Sheffield http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/physics/contacts/neil-spooner
