Abstract:
More than 90% of matter in the Universe could be composed of heavy particles, which were non-relativistic, or 'cold', when they froze-out from the primordial soup. I will review current searches for these hypothetical particles, both via interactions with nuclei in deep underground detectors, and via the observation of their annihilation products in the Sun, galactic halo and galactic center.

Abstract:
In the decades-old quest to uncover the nature of the enigmatic dark matter, cryogenic detectors have reached unprecedented sensitivities. Searching for tiny signals from dark matter particles scattering in materials cooled down to low temperatures, these experiments look out into space from deep underground. Their ambitious goal is to discover non-gravitational interactions of dark matter and to scan the allowed parameter space until interactions from solar and cosmic neutrinos are poised to take over.

Abstract:
The striking evidence for the existence of dark matter in the Universe implies that there is new physics to be discovered beyond the Standard Model. To identify the nature of this dark matter is a key task for modern astroparticle physics, and a large number of experiments pursuing a range of different search strategies have been developed to solve it. The topic of this thesis is the complementarity of these different experiments and the issue of how to combine the information from different searches independently of experimental and theoretical uncertainties. The first part focuses on the direct detection of dark matter scattering in nuclear recoil detectors, with a special emphasis on the impact of the assumed velocity distribution of Galactic dark matter particles. By converting experimental data to variables that make the astrophysical unknowns explicit, different experiments can be compared without implicit assumptions concerning the dark matter halo. We extend this framework to include annual modulation signals and apply it to recent experimental hints for dark matter, showing that the tension between these results and constraints from other experiments is independent of astrophysical uncertainties. We explore possible ways of ameliorating this tension by changing our assumptions on the properties of dark matter interactions. In this context, we propose a new approach for inferring the properties of the dark matter particle, which does not require any assumptions about the structure of the dark matter halo. A particularly interesting option is to study dark matter particles that couple differently to protons and neutrons (so-called isospin-violating dark matter). Such isospin-violation arises naturally in models where the vector mediator is the gauge boson of a new U(1) that mixes with the Standard Model gauge bosons. In the second part, we first discuss the case where both the Z' and the dark matter particle have a mass of a few GeV and then turn to the case where the Z' is significantly heavier. While the former case is most strongly constrained by precision measurements from LEP and B-factories, the latter scenario can be probed with great sensitivity at the LHC using monojet and monophoton searches, as well as searches for resonances in dijet, dilepton and diboson final states. Finally, we study models of dark matter where loop contributions are important for a comparison of LHC searches and direct detection experiments. This is the case for dark matter interactions with Yukawa-like couplings to quarks and for interactions that lead to spin-dependent or momentum suppressed scattering cross sections at tree level. We find that including the contribution from heavy-quark loops can significantly alter the conclusions obtained from a tree-level analysis.

Abstract:

We are at the dawn of a data-driven era in astrophysics and cosmology. A large number of ongoing and forthcoming experiments combined with an increasingly open approach to data availability offer great potential in unlocking some of the deepest mysteries of the Universe. Among these is understanding the nature of dark matter (DM)—one of the major unsolved problems in particle physics. Characterizing DM through its astrophysical signatures will require a robust understanding of its distribution in the sky and the use of novel statistical methods.

The first part of this thesis describes the implementation of a novel statistical technique which leverages the “clumpiness” of photons originating from point sources (PSs) to derive the properties of PS populations hidden in astrophysical datasets. This is applied to data from the Fermi satellite at high latitudes (|b| ≥ 30°) to characterize the contribution of PSs of extragalactic origin. We find that the majority of extragalactic gamma-ray emission can be ascribed to unresolved PSs having properties consistent with known sources such as active galactic nuclei. This leaves considerably less room for significant dark matter contribution.

The second part of this thesis poses the question: “what is the best way to look for annihilating dark matter in extragalactic sources?” and attempts to answer it by constructing a pipeline to robustly map out the distribution of dark matter outside the Milky Way using galaxy group catalogs. This framework is then applied to Fermi data and existing group catalogs to search for annihilating dark matter in extragalactic galaxies and clusters.

Abstract:
Després de dècades d'observacions, és evident que les partíicules del model estàndard són insuficients per explicar el fort desequilibri gravitacional observat a diverses regions astronòmiques, de diferents escales cosmològiques, des de satèl·lits de la Via Làctia fins a cúmuls de galàxies. Si bé és veritat que algunes teories suggereixen a una modificació de les lleis gravitacionals actuals, l'existència d'una partícula (o un grup de partícules) nova, interaccionant de forma feble amb les partícules del model estàndard està considerada com l'opció més viable. Estimacions recents prediuen que aquest tipus de matèria fosca és 4 vegades més present que la matèria del model estàndard, modelant així la formació de les grans estructures de l'univers al llarg de la vida d'aquest. Un escenari general de la matèria fosca és el dels WIMPs, partícules genèriques massives, amb masses entre pocs GeVs i alguns TeV, interaccions de l'ordre de les interaccions dèbils del model estàndard, i o bé estables o amb temps de vida mitjana prou llargs. L'escenari WIMP ha estat llargament debatut, i té l'avantatja d'estar a l'abast dels instruments més potents construïts a la terra, proporcionant així possibles deteccions independents que podria validar el descobriment. En particular em centro en cerques indirectes de matèria fosca, on s'espera que WIMPs anihilats o decaient emetin rajos gamma amb energies detectables per telescopis IACT, com per exemple els telescopis MAGIC, actualment operant des de La Palma o la futura xarxa de telescopis CTA. El senyal esperat de rajos gamma d'aquesta matèria fosca pot ser moderadament extensa, comparada amb el camp de visió dels IACTs, cosa que afegeix certa complexitat a les cerques de matèria fosca realitzades per a aquests telescopis. En aquesta tesi, he contribuït a l'esforç realitzat per MAGIC en cerques indirectes de matèria fosca a diferents nivells d'analisis. He desenvolupat una eina per gestionar volums massius de dades que són típicament generats per MAGIC, però també per tota la comunitat experimental de física d'altes energies. També he desenvolupat un MonteCarlo per a fonts extenses que s'ajusta a l'emissió esperada de la font, obtenint així les funcions correctes de resposta de l'instrument. Finalment, un mètode per a optimitzar la configuració d'apuntat durant les observacions de fonts moderadament extenses amb IACTs ha estat proposat. El mètode té en compte la resposta finita dels IACTs al llarg de tot el camp de visió per a proporcionar la distància òptima a la qual el telescopi ha d'apuntar a la font, així com, quina seria la regió d'integració més adient. Apliquem aquest mètode per primera vegada a cerques de matèria fosca en galàxies satèl·lits de la Via Làctia. També exposo la meva contribució al telescopi més gran que operarà a CTA, el LST, que dominarà la sensibilitat de cerques de WIMPs estàndard. Límits a la secció eficaç i/o temps de vida mitjana són imposats mitjançant 60 hores d'observació de la galàxia Triangulum-II i 202 hores del cúmul de galàxies de Perseus. En ambdues cerques, fem ús del mètode de màxima versemblança, optimitzat per a la morfologia espacial i energètica del senyal esperat de rajos gamma. Obtenim sensibilitats a la secció eficaç de 3·10^{-26}~\cm^{3}\s^{-1} i temps de vida mitjana de 0.3·10^{25}~\s, essent aquests els resultats més restrictius obtinguts amb MAGIC en cerques de WIMPs.
Decades of observational evidences have been accumulated to show that Standard Model (SM) particles cannot totally explain the strong gravitational unbalance observed in several astronomical regions, at all cosmological scales, from that of Milky Way (MW) satellite galaxies, to that of Cluster of Galaxies (CGs). Although some theories argue for the modification of the gravitational laws, the existence of a new massive particle (or a set of them), interacting only weakly with SM particles, provides a preferred explanation. It is estimated that this form of Dark Matter (DM) roughly accounts for 4 times the amount of SM matter, therefore shaping the evolution of cosmic structures along the history of the Universe. A well-motivated general framework for DM is that of a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP), generic massive particles with a mass range expected between few GeVs and few hundreds TeV, interaction strengths at the weak scale, and either stable or very long lived. The WIMP paradigm has been long debated, and has the advantage of being at reach by different of the top-class instruments of the current times, so that a putative discovery could be validated independently. We focus on the indirect search of DM, where annihilating or decaying WIMPs are expected to emit gamma rays at energies detectable by Imaginc Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs), as the currently operating MAGIC telescopes or the future Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). The expected DM signal can be moderate extended when compared to IACTs Field of View (FoV), what challenges the performance of the \acrshort{dm} search of these instruments. In this thesis, I contribute to the MAGIC ongoing efforts on indirect DM searches at different analysis levels. A tool for handling the massive data products generated by current high energy experiments is developed. More over, a tailored Monte Carlo (MC) for moderate extended sources is proposed as an upgrade of the current general MC for extended sources. Finally, a method to optimize the pointing strategy of IACTs while observing moderate extended sources taking into account the off-axis performance of the instrument has also been developed and, implemented for the first time to indirect DM searches on highly DM dominated nearby dwarf Sphereoidal galaxies (dSphs). I also show my contribution to the largest telescope to be part of CTA, the Large Size Telescopes, that will dominate the CTA sensitivity for standard WIMP searches. Constraints on the WIMP thermally averaged cross-section and/or decay life-time are put with 60~hours of data in the recently discovered dSph Triangulum-II and 202~hours on the Perseus CG. On both searches, we apply a binned likelihood analysis optimized for the spectral and morphological features of gamma-ray signals of DM from annihilating or decaying WIMPs. We reach sensitivities to the thermally averaged cross-section of 3·10^{-26}~\cm^{3}\s^{-1} and decay life-times of 0.3·\times10^{25}~\s, being this the most constraining MAGIC results on WIMP searches.

Abstract:
The next generation of cryodetector arrays for direct WIMP searches will aim to achieve large increases in WIMP-nucleon scattering target mass, an order of magnitude or more greater than existing detector arrays. The implementation of high-resolution measurements and background suppression by event discrimination will remain of paramount importance. Hardware development must be undertaken to increase the availability and density of read out channels while maintaining low-noise, low-heatload, high-radiopurity cryodetector performance. This thesis describes the development of scalable cryogenic cabling using etched metal foil fabrication techniques and the development of low-temperature high-voltage power supply for scintillation light readout using photomultiplier tubes. Etched metal foil cables were developed for cryodetector read out. Fabrication techniques for low-heatload, low-cost cabling were developed and commissioning tests were carried out to verify low-noise performance in both low-impedance and high-impedance cryodetector read out schemes. SQUID readout cabling with a heatload cost 24 times lower than existing cabling was installed and mean SQUID noise of 5.5 pAHz-l/2 was measured with low- impedance input. Photomultiplier tubes can be used for cryogenic scintillation light measurement, a key technique in cryodetector event discrimination. A low-heatload, low-noise photomultiplier tube power supply circuit was developed. Measurements of cryogenic scintillation light from a CaW04 crystal were carried out using a CWG/PMT module cooled to 0.95 mK.

Abstract:
Una enorme quantità di evidenze sperimentali sulla esistenza di una forma di materia non luminosa nell'Universo, si sono accumulate nel corso di circa un secolo. Chiarire la sua natura è diventata una delle sfide più eccitanti ed urgenti negli sforzi per capire il nostro Universo. In questo lavoro presento uno studio su un approccio per scoprire la Materia Oscura interpretata come particella elementare e sulla possibilità di produrla e rilevarla negli acceleratori. Nella parte introduttiva presento una breve storia delle evidenze astrofisiche e astronomiche che hanno portato alla ipotesi della esistenza di Materia Oscura. Assumendo che la Materia Oscura sia costituita da una particella elementare ulteriore a quelle predette dal Modello Standard, delineo poi i tre principali metodi di rilevazione utilizzati attualmente per identificarla. Nella seconda parte discuto come si possono costruire teorie nelle quali sia possibile interpretare le ricerche attuali ed i risultati corrispondenti. Eseguo un confronto tra approcci diversi, partendo da modelli completi fino a quelli che utilizzano teorie di campo effettive. In particolare, discuto i loro lati positivi e negativi, motivando l'utilizzo di uno schema intermedio, il cosiddetto approccio con modelli semplificati, caratterizzati da un numero limitato di nuovi stati e parametri e che supera le limitazioni intrinseche delle teorie effettive nel contesto delle ricerche negli acceleratori. Nell'ultima parte fornisco una esaustiva classificazione dei modelli semplificati nel canale t, che non sono ancora stati analizzati sistematicamente nella letteratura. Per ciascuno di essi presento un possibile completamento UV e i segnali più promettenti ad LHC. Per questa ragione tutti i modelli considerati sono stati implementati in strumenti Monte Carlo, validati nel confronto con risultati analitici, studiati in dettaglio e resi pronti per un rilascio pubblico per la comunità fenomenologica e sperimentale di LHC.

Abstract:
Une grande partie de notre Univers consiste en un type de matière non-lumineuse intrinsèquement différente de tous les types de matière connus. Les preuves expérimentales suggèrent fortement que cette "Matière Noire" contribue à environ 80-85% de la matière de l'Univers. Ces dernières années, de nombreux résultats expérimentaux concernant la Matière Noire ont été publiés, faisant de ce domaine de recherche un des plus excitants. Beaucoup de données sont également attendues dans un avenir proche. Le but de cette thèse est d'établir le lien entre certains modèles de Matière Noire et leurs signatures expérimentales visibles dans les détecteurs actuels ou futurs. En ce qui concerne la détection indirecte de Matière Noire, une attention particulière est accordée à l'excès de électrons/positrons, qui peut en principe être expliqué par annihilations de Matière Noire dans notre Galaxie. Afin de tester cette possibilité nous effectuons une analyse "multi-messenger" combinant les contraintes de différents canaux astrophysiques tels que antiprotons, rayons gamma et signaux radio. Les incertitudes entrant dans le calcul des signatures de Matière Noire sont très importants et limitent notre capacité à extraire les respectives propriétés en cas de découverte. Par conséquent, évaluer et prévoir toutes les incertitudes pertinentes est essentielle, et une grande partie de cette thèse est consacrée à ce sujet. En particulier, nous étudions les perspectives pour la détermination de la propagation des rayons cosmiques avec AMS-02, les incertitudes systématiques sur la densité locale de Matière Noire et l'effet des incertitudes astrophysiques sur les expériences de détection directe
A large portion of the present Universe is composed of a non-luminous kind of matter, which is intrinsically distinct from ail mass constituents known to exist. The evidence for this so-called Dark Matter spans sub-galactic to cosmological scales, and strongly suggests that it contributes around 80-85% of the matter content in our Universe. Over the past years, numerous experimental results relevant for Dark Matter searches have been released, triggering a great deal of excitement in the field. Moreover, plenty of data are expected in the near future. This thesis aims at linking Dark Matter models and their experimental signatures in current and upcoming detectors. As far as indirect Dark Matter detection is concerned, special attention is paid to the recently reported electron/positron excess in cosmic rays, which can in principle be explained by Dark Matter annihilations in our Galaxy. In order to test this possibility we perform a multi-messenger analysis combining the constraints from different astrophysical channels such as antiprotons, gamma-rays and radio signals. The uncertainties entering the computation of Dark Matter signatures are very significant and ultimately limit our ability to extract the properties of Dark Matter in case of discovery. Therefore, to assess and forecast ail relevant uncertainties is crucial, and a large portion o this thesis is devoted to that topic. In particular, we study the prospects for pinpointing cosmic-ray propagation with AMS-02, the systematic uncertainties regarding the local Dark Matter density and the effect of astrophysical unknowns on direct detection experiments

Abstract:
The cubic-kilometer sized IceCube neutrino observatory, constructed in the glacial ice at the South Pole, searches indirectly for dark matter via neutrinos from dark matter self-annihilations. It has a high discovery potential through striking signatures. This thesis presents searches for dark matter annihilations in the center of the Sun using experimental data collected with IceCube. The main physics analysis described here was performed for dark matter in the form of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with the 79-string configuration of the IceCube neutrino telescope. For the first time, the DeepCore sub-array was included in the analysis, lowering the energy threshold and extending the search to the austral summer. Data from 317 days live-time are consistent with the expected background from atmospheric muons and neutrinos. Upper limits were set on the dark matter annihilation rate, with conversions to limits on the WIMP-proton scattering cross section, which initiates the WIMP capture process in the Sun.These are the most stringent spin-dependent WIMP-proton cross-sections limits to date above 35 GeV for most WIMP models. In addition, a formalism for quickly and directly comparing event-level IceCube data with arbitrary annihilation spectra in detailed model scans, considering not only total event counts but also event directions and energy estimators, is presented. Two analyses were made that show an application of this formalism to both model exclusion and parameter estimation in models of supersymmetry. An analysis was also conducted that extended for the first time indirect dark matter searches with neutrinos using IceCube data, to an alternative dark matter candidate, Kaluza-Klein particles, arising from theories with extra space-time dimensions. The methods developed for the solar dark matter search were applied to look for neutrino emission during a flare of the Crab Nebula in 2010.

Work contributing to experimental limits on WIMP dark matter scattering in a liquid xenon target is presented. The ZEPLIN-III detector at Boulby completed 83 days’ continuous operation in 2008 and, following a hardware upgrade, a further 319 days in 2010–11. Inelastic dark matter hypotheses to explain the DAMA/LIBRA modulation as scattering from iodine are excluded with ≥ 87% confidence using 2008 data. Upper limits on the elastic WIMP-nucleon cross section are set from the combined exposure, with a minimum of 3.9 × 10⁻⁸ pb for 50 GeVc⁻² WIMP mass at 90% CL, in addition to competitive limits on the WIMP-neutron spin-dependent cross section. The detector responses to scintillation and ionisation—throughout the fiducial volume and over the duration of the run — are characterised via calibration with ⁵⁷Co and ¹³⁷Cs sources, as well as sidebands in search data. Signal spectra are modeled using these responses and an in situ measurement of the energy-dependent light and charge yields of nuclear recoils. Analysis software, event selection and background estimation are all described. Confidence intervals based on sparse regions of parameter space (Yellin limits) and the likelihood ratios are implemented for ZEPLIN-III and discussed in the context of rare-event searches with significant background uncertainty.

Dissertação para obtenção do Grau de Doutor em Engenharia Física
The initial goal of the thesis work was to improve the performance of the instrumentation used in the SIMPLE dark matter search. Consequently, the ultimate objective is to find a possible candidate for Dark Matter or improve the knowledge of its nature. Upon a brief description of Dark Matter and the status of its search, the fundamentals of Superheated Liquid Detectors are presented. This thesis presents a robust acoustic instrumentation together with a new method for the identification of bubble nucleations in Superheated Droplet Detectors. This is accomplished through straightforward signal processing techniques applied to the acoustical recording of the nucleation events, which consists of pulse shape identification procedures. A set of tests are presented to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithms, as well as the new and more reliable instrumentation. An effort to locate a bubble nucleation in the SDDs is accomplished through some elaborated signal processing techniques applied to the acoustical recording of the nucleation events. These include the application of wavelets, the chirp-z transform and pulse shape identification procedures to locate temporally and validate the nucleation for its spatial localization. Acoustic and SDD associated backgrounds are completely discriminated with the developed signal processing techniques. Results from systematic studies are presented for the instrumentation and SDD response,which are used in the SIMPLE dark matter search experiment and possibly in neutron dosimetry. A new bubble nucleation efficiency is drawn out, together with particle discrimination confirmation determined throughout a-n calibrations. SIMPLE's Phase-II Dark Matter results are presented with the implementation of the complete instrumentation in operation for SDDs. These results are simultaneously presented with the full characterization of the local background scenario and gained knowledge of SDD characteristics and dynamics. Interpretations of these results are laid out. The direct future is given through the R&D of a rejuvenation superheated liquid detector, the Big Droplet Chamber. A prototype of this new Bubble Chamber is shown together with its first results of a more prevailing ultrasound acoustic system. Which can possibly reveal in the near future, unseen aspects such as the bubble formation stage in superheated liquids up to now.

Abstract:
AbstractUltralight bosonic dark matter (UBDM), such as axions and axionlike particles (ALPs), can interact with Standard Model particles via a variety of portals. One type of portal induces electric dipole moments (EDMs) of nuclei and electrons and another type generates torques on nuclear and electronic spins. Several experiments search for interactions of spins with the galactic dark matter background via these portals, comprising a new class of dark matter haloscopes based on magnetic resonance.
