Microlensing and dynamical constraints on primordial black hole dark matter with an extended mass function (2016)
Journal Article
Green, A. M. (in press). Microlensing and dynamical constraints on primordial black hole dark matter with an extended mass function. Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology, 94, Article 063530. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.94.063530

The recent discovery of gravitational waves from mergers of ∼10 M⊙ black hole binaries has stimulated interested in primordial black hole (PBH) dark matter in this mass range. Microlensing and dynamical constraints exclude all of the dark matter in c...

How to calculate dark matter direct detection exclusion limits that are consistent with gamma rays from annihilation in the Milky Way halo (2016)
Journal Article
Cerdeno, D. G., Fornasa, M., Green, A. M., & Peiro, M. (2016). How to calculate dark matter direct detection exclusion limits that are consistent with gamma rays from annihilation in the Milky Way halo. Physical Review D, 94, Article 043516. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.94.043516

When comparing constraints on the weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) properties from direct and indirect detection experiments it is crucial that the assumptions made about the dark matter (DM) distribution are realistic and consistent. For i... Read More about How to calculate dark matter direct detection exclusion limits that are consistent with gamma rays from annihilation in the Milky Way halo.

A review of the discovery reach of directional Dark Matter detection (2016)
Journal Article
Mayet, F., Green, A. M., Battat, J., Billard, J., Bozorgnia, N., Gelmini, G., Gondolo, P., Kavanagh, B., Lee, S., Loomba, D., Monroe, J., Morgan, B., O'Hare, C., Peter, A., Phan, N., & Vahsen, S. (2016). A review of the discovery reach of directional Dark Matter detection. Physics Reports, 627, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physrep.2016.02.007

Cosmological observations indicate that most of the matter in the Universe is Dark Matter. Dark Matter in the form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) can be detected directly, via its elastic scattering off target nuclei. Most current di...

Readout strategies for directional dark matter detection beyond the neutrino background (2015)
Journal Article
Figueroa-Feliciano, E., O'Hare, C. A., Green, A. M., Billard, J., & Strigari, L. E. (2015). Readout strategies for directional dark matter detection beyond the neutrino background. Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology, 92(6), https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.92.063518

© 2015 American Physical Society. The search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) by direct detection faces an encroaching background due to coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering. As the sensitivity of these experiments improves, the quest... Read More about Readout strategies for directional dark matter detection beyond the neutrino background.

WIMP particle physics and astrophysics with direct detection and neutrino telescope data (2015)
Journal Article

With positive signals from multiple direct detection experiments it will, in principle, be possi- ble to measure the mass and cross sections of weakly-interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter. Recent work has shown that, with a polynomial para... Read More about WIMP particle physics and astrophysics with direct detection and neutrino telescope data.

WIMP physics with ensembles of direct-detection experiments (2014)
Journal Article

The search for weakly-interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matter is multi-pronged. Ulti- mately, the WIMP-dark-matter picture will only be confirmed if different classes of experiments see consistent signals and infer the same WIMP properties. I...

Dark Matter (DM) direct detection experiments usually assume the simplest possible ‘Standard Halo Model’ for the Milky Way (MW) halo in which the velocity distribution is Maxwellian. This model assumes that the MW halo is an isotropic, isothermal sph... Read More about Self-consistent phase-space distribution function for the anisotropic dark matter halo of the Milky Way.
