Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes these issues in terms of links, between cosmology, particle and nuclear physics, as well as between cosmology, atmospheric and terrestrial physics. It studies the constituents of dark matter (classified as hot warm and cold) first in terms of their individual structures, and second, in terms of facilities available to detect these structures. Neutrinos are treated as a separate entity. The last chapter details the real-time stories about the "regions" that were not explored thus far, for lack of advanced technology. Their untold stories (which span up to 2010) are illustrated here datewise in full. The book concludes with the latest news that the Large Hadron Collider team at CERN has finally succeeded in producing 7 trillion electronic Volts of energy by creating head-on-collisions of protons and more protons (in search of God-particle).

Book excerpt: Neutrino physics remains one of the most exciting fields of fundamental physics today. The neutrino's position at the intersection of particle physics, astrophysics, and nuclear physics ensures continuing interest in the subject. Major activities at accelerators like Fermilab, KEK and CERN, in addition to underground facilities like Gran Sasso, Kamioka and Sudbury, continue to enhance our understanding of the origins and properties of neutrinos, and their implications for the Standard Model and cosmology. Neutrino Physics provides an up to date and comprehensive introduction to the subject as well as an invaluable resource for researchers in physics and astrophysics. Starting with a brief historical overview the author proceeds to review fundamental neutrino properties, the neutrino mass question, and their place within and beyond the Standard Model. The final chapters examine the role of neutrinos in modern astroparticle physics, cosmology and the dark matter problem. The book concludes with a summary of the current status of neutrino physics and the implications of recent results. Written to be accessible to readers from different backgrounds in nuclear, particle or astrophysics and with a detailed reference list, this title will be essential for any researcher or advanced student who needs to understand modern neutrino physics.

Book excerpt: We discuss two important research avenues in astroparticle physics: dark matter and neutrinos. We discuss both direct and indirect detection of dark matter. We calculate the signatures of dark matter annihilation from galaxy clusters in neutri- nos. We show the constraints on dark matter annihilation from radio measurements near the Galactic Center. We consider the dark matter annihilation contribution to the isotropic diffuse gamma-ray background and show how to determine the mini- mum dark matter halo mass for a given dark matter mass and annihilation channel. Motivated by recent hints on dark matter self-interactions, we calculate the nuclear recoil spectrum from a bound state dark matter scattering with a nuclei at rest in a dark matter direct detection experiment. We discuss non-standard interactions of neutrinos and astrophysical neutrino detection in the second part of the thesis. We derive strong constraints on a light Abelian gauge boson coupling to Standard Model leptons. In light of the recent detection of high energy neutrinos in IceCube, we discuss the cascade detection of high energy astrophysical neutrinos in IceCube and point out the benefits of this detection channel. We propose a new method to detect supernova electron neutrino in gadolinium loaded Super-Kamiokande detector and show that it can be used to measure the supernova electron neutrino spectrum to ~ 20% accuracy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even though the combined laboratory, astrophysical and cosmological evidence implies that neutrinos have masses, neutrinos provide only a small cosmic dark matter component. The study of solar neutrinos provides important information on nuclear processes inside the Sun as well as on matter densities. Moreover, supernova neutrinos provide sensitive probes for studying supernova explosions, neutrino properties and stellar collapse mechanisms. Neutrino-nucleus reactions at energies below 100 MeV play essential roles in core-collapse supernovae, explosive and r-process nucleosynthesis, as well as observation of solar and supernova neutrinos by earthbound detectors. On the other hand, recent experimental data of high-energy extragalactic neutrinos at 1 PeV open a new window to probe non-standard neutrino properties, such as resonant effects in the oscillation probability.
Download or read book Indirect Dark Matter Search with Neutrinos in JUNO and THEIA written by David Samuel Blum and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extensive evidence from various astrophysical observations suggests that most of the matter in the universe is dark matter. However, the nature of dark matter is still unknown and remains one of the most prominent unanswered questions in physics today. A potential way to search for dark matter is the indirect dark matter search with neutrinos. It is based on the hypothesis that dark matter particles self-annihilate into neutrinos. This would result in a neutrino flux, which could be measured by neutrino detectors at Earth. In case of no excess signal is observed, a limit on the dark matter self-annihilation cross section can be set. The future neutrino detectors JUNO and THEIA can search for dark matter, especially for light dark matter particles with masses ranging from MeV to GeV. The search for such light dark matter particles has gained in importance in the last years as it extends the typical WIMP search to the sub-GeV mass range. In this work, the sensitivities of JUNO and THEIA to measure neutrinos from dark matter self-annihilation in the Milky Way as an excess over backgrounds are determined in detail for the first time. The work focuses on direct self-annihilation of light dark matter particles with masses ranging from 15 MeV to 100 MeV into neutrino-antineutrino pairs. The expected electron antineutrino signal measured through the inverse beta decay (IBD) reaction and all background contributions occurring in the visible energy region from 10 MeV to 100 MeV are determined for both detectors. To effectively reduce IBD-like background events of atmospheric neutrinos interacting via neutral current and of fast neutrons in JUNO, pulse shape discrimination is studied and applied in this work. THEIA would feature the separate measurement of Cherenkov and scintillation light. As a consequence, selection cuts on the ratio of measured Cherenkov to scintillation light and on the number of reconstructed Cherenkov rings are determined in this work, which can suppress atmospheric neutral current and fast neutron background events in THEIA with high efficiency. The sensitivities of JUNO and THEIA are determined using a Bayesian analysis and Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling for dark matter masses ranging from 15 MeV to 100 MeV. JUNO will achieve the highest sensitivity for indirect dark matter search with neutrinos among existing neutrino detectors and will take a leading role in the indirect dark matter search in the upcoming years. The results of this work show for the first time that JUNO will improve the best currently existing 90 % C.L. upper limit of neutrino detectors on the dark matter self-annihilation cross section by a factor of 2 to 9 for 10 years of data taking. JUNO's potential to discover an electron antineutrino signal from dark matter self-annihilation in the Milky Way as an excess over backgrounds will be between 3 sigma and 5 sigma for most dark matter masses from 15 MeV to 100 MeV assuming an annihilation cross section that corresponds to the 90 % C.L. upper limit on the annihilation cross section of Super-K. This work moreover demonstrates that THEIA, if realized, could achieve a sensitivity comparable to JUNO.
