The Theory of Direct Dark Matter Detection (eBook, PDF)

A Guide to Computations

Beschreibung

This book is a pedagogical guide on how to make computations in direct dark matter (DM) detection. The theory behind the calculation of direct detection cross sections and rates is presented, touching aspects related to elementary particle physics, hadronic physics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics. The book is structured in self-contained sections, covering several topics ranging from the scattering kinematics to the phenomenology of direct DM searches. It follows a model-independent approach, aiming at providing the readers with all that is needed to understand the theory and start their own analysis. Meant for graduate students and researchers with interests in particle physics and phenomenology, it is enriched with several worked examples from standard and non-standard particle DM models. Senior researchers working in different areas related to dark matter, like particle and nuclear physics, astrophysics, and cosmology, find in this book a useful and updated guide for reference.

Autor

Eugenio Del Nobile received a PhD in Physics in 2012 with a dissertation on some theoretical aspects of particle dark matter models and their direct detection phenomenology. After, he gained postdoctoral positions at UCLA in US, University of Padua in Italy, and University of Nottingham in UK. His research interests are on direct dark matter detection theory and related phenomenology, notably concerning model-independent analyses and methods.

Rezensionen

"I personally believe this is a very useful read for students, researchers already in the field, or anyone who wants to understand the theoretical framework behind every direct dark-matter-search experiment. I think Del Nobile managed to cover all the necessary ingredients in an extensive and yet not-overwhelming way, and this volume will definitely find its spot on many bookshelves."
