Some Aspects of New CDM Models and CDM Detection Methods

TL;DR

This paper reviews recent charge symmetric WIMP models of Cold Dark Matter, discussing their experimental signatures in neutrino telescopes, direct detection, and recoil direction measurements, highlighting potential detection strategies beyond standard SUSY models.

Contribution

It introduces and analyzes non-standard charge symmetric WIMP models and explores their detection prospects in various experimental setups.

Findings

Neutrino telescopes can detect signatures of new CDM models.

Recoil ion direction measurements may reveal daily and annual modulation signals.

Certain experiments are more sensitive to specific aspects of these models.

Abstract

We briefly review some recent Cold Dark Matter (CDM) models. Our main focus are charge symmetric models of WIMPs which are not the standard SUSY LSP's (Lightest Supersymmetric Partners). We indicate which experiments are most sensitive to certain aspects of the models. In particular we discuss the manifestations of the new models in neutrino telescopes and other set-ups. We also discuss some direct detection experiments and comment on measuring the direction of recoil ions--which is correlated with the direction of the incoming WIMP. This could yield daily variations providing along with the annual modulation signatures for CDM.
