Proposed New Technique for Detecting Supersymmetric Dark Matter
Proposed New Technique for Detecting Supersymmetric Dark Matter
We estimate the event rate for excitation of atomic transition by photino-like dark matter. For excitations of several eV, this event rate can exceed naive cross-section by many orders of magnitude. Although the event rate for these atomic excitation is smaller than that of nuclear recoil off of non-zero spin …
