Demonstration of surface electron rejection with interleaved germanium detectors for dark matter searches. Applied Physics Letters, 103(16), Article 164105. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4826093

The SuperCDMS experiment in the Soudan Underground Laboratory searches for dark matter with a 9-kg array of cryogenic germanium detectors. Symmetric sensors on opposite sides measure both charge and phonons from each particle interaction, providing e...

Constraints on WIMP annihilation for contracted dark matter in the inner Galaxy with the Fermi-LAT (2013)
Journal Article

Constraints on WIMP annihilation for contracted dark matter in the inner Galaxy with the Fermi-LAT. Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2013(10), Article 029. https://doi.org/10.1088/1475-7516/2013/10/029

We derive constraints on parameters of generic dark matter candidates by comparing theoretical predictions with the gamma-ray emission observed by the Fermi-LAT from the region around the Galactic Center. Our analysis is conservative since it simply... Read More about Constraints on WIMP annihilation for contracted dark matter in the inner Galaxy with the Fermi-LAT.

Silicon detector results from the first five-tower run of CDMS II (2013)

Complementarity of dark matter direct detection: the role of bolometric targets (2013)
Journal Article

We study how the combined observation of dark matter in various direct detection experiments can be used to determine the phenomenological properties of WIMP dark matter: mass, spin-dependent (SD) and spin-independent (SI) scattering cross section of...

Probing the two light Higgs scenario in the NMSSM with a low-mass pseudoscalar (2013)
Journal Article

In this article we propose a simultaneous collider search strategy for a pair of scalar bosons in the NMSSM through the decays of a very light pseudoscalar. The massive scalar has a mass around 126 GeV while the lighter one can have a mass in the vic... Read More about Probing the two light Higgs scenario in the NMSSM with a low-mass pseudoscalar.

N. (2023, July). SuperCDMS status from Soudan and plans for SNOLab. Presented at CETUP* 2012 - Workshop on Dark Matter, Unification and Neutrino Physics., South Dakota, USA

Matter, as we know it, makes up less than 5% of the Universe. Various astrophysical observations have confirmed that one quarter of the Universe and most of the matter content in the Universe is made up of Dark Matter. The nature of Dark Matter is ye...

The NMSSM with F-theory unified boundary conditions (2013)
Journal Article

We study the phenomenological viability of a constrained NMSSM with parameters subject to unified boundary conditions from F-theory GUTs. We find that very simple assumptions about modulus dominance SUSY breaking in F-theory unification lead to a pre... Read More about The NMSSM with F-theory unified boundary conditions.

We study the effect that uncertainties in the nuclear spin-dependent structure functions have in the determination of the dark matter (DM) parameters in a direct detection experiment. We show that different nuclear models that describe the spin-depen... Read More about Nuclear uncertainties in the spin-dependent structure functions for direct dark matter detection.
