The Universe

Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) may constitute most of the matter in the Universe. There are intriguing results from DAMA/LIBRA, CoGeNT and CRESST-II, and more recently CDMS-Si suggesting a relatively light dark matter candidate of mass <10 GeV /c2. At the same time, experiments using heavy nuclear targets such as CDMS-Ge and XENON detectors suggest that there is no DM candidates with MW>15 GeV /c2. We review the existing experiments and the problems associated with light mass WIMP detection. We find that all six experiments considered (DAMA, CoGeNT, CRESST, CDMS-Si, CDMS-Ge, XENON) are consistent if one assumes that the mass of WIMP is lower than expected: 3.4<MW<6.8 GeV /c2. This is followed by a discussion of the properties of "new" detectors, which may enable more reliable detection of low mass WIMPs.

We shall consider the problem of Dark Matter (DM) in torsion gravity with Dirac matter fields; we will consider the fact that if Weakly-Interacting Massive Particles in a bath are allowed to form condensates then torsional effects may be relevant even at galactic scales: we show that torsionally-gravitating Dirac fields have interesting properties for the problem of DM. We discuss consequences.
