SuperCDMS An Improvement on Detection

Posted on December 14, 2009 by PlatoHagel

So far no WIMP interaction has been observed, so the sensitivity needs to be improved further. This will be achieved by increasing the total detector mass (and with this the probability that a WIMP interacts in the detector) and at … Continue reading →

Dark Energy: Beyond Einstein Missions

Posted on March 24, 2008 by PlatoHagel

Adept Charles L. Bennett “ADEPT will measure these supernovae, but its real advance lies in a new, more powerful technique. Patterns in temperature of the very young universe provide a ‘standard ruler’ that is imprinted on the pattern of galaxies … Continue reading →

Dark Matter Issue

Posted on November 5, 2007 by PlatoHagel

We’re faced with the same choices today, with galaxies and clusters playing the role of the Solar System. Except that the question has basically been answered, by observations such as the Bullet Cluster. If you modify gravity, it’s fairly straightforward … Continue reading →

Hubble Maps the Cosmic Web of "Clumpy" Dark Matter in 3-D

Posted on January 8, 2007 by PlatoHagel

Three-Dimensional Distribution of Dark Matter in the Universe This three-dimensional map offers a first look at the web-like large-scale distribution of dark matter, an invisible form of matter that accounts for most of the universe’s mass. This milestone takes astronomers … Continue reading →
