项目摘要

This award will partially support the participation of younger scientists (graduate students and postdoctoral researchers) in the CYGNUS 2009 Conference on Directional Dark Matter Detection. It is the second in a series of meetings dedicated to the theoretical and experimental challenges surrounding directional dark matter detection. The conference will be held at MIT from June 11-13, 2009.Astrophysical observations suggest that the matter content of the Universe is dominated by nonbaryonic dark matter. Although dark matter is expected to permeate our galaxy, no dark matter particle has been unambiguously detected directly. Many groups worldwide have undertaken programs to search for the interaction of dark matter particles with baryonic matter in the laboratory. Because the interaction rates between dark matter and baryonic matter are so small, these experiments are plagued by Standard Model backgrounds. The dark matter signal, however, is astrophysical in origin, and should be separable from backgrounds if the direction of arrival is measured. This idea has prompted several international groups to pursue the development of dark matter detectors that provide directional sensitivity. The goal of the CYGNUS Conference series is to bring together the international scientific community working on both theoretical and experimental aspects of directional dark matter detection and Galactic dark matter distribution, and to coordinate efforts towards a large future directional dark matter experiment. For the Broader Impacts, all presentations will be archived and publicly available through the conference website so that many others can take advantage of the talks.

该奖项将部分支持年轻科学家（研究生和博士后研究人员）参加 CYGNUS 2009 定向暗物质检测会议。这是致力于解决定向暗物质探测理论和实验挑战的系列会议中的第二次会议。会议将于2009年6月11日至13日在麻省理工学院举行。天体物理学观测表明，宇宙的物质含量以非重子暗物质为主。尽管预计暗物质将渗透到我们的银河系中，但尚未明确直接检测到暗物质粒子。世界各地的许多团体都开展了在实验室中寻找暗物质粒子与重子物质相互作用的项目。由于暗物质和重子物质之间的相互作用率非常小，这些实验受到标准模型背景的困扰。然而，暗物质信号起源于天体物理学，如果测量到达方向，则应该与背景分离。这一想法促使多个国际组织致力于开发具有方向灵敏度的暗物质探测器。 CYGNUS会议系列的目标是汇集致力于定向暗物质探测和银河暗物质分布的理论和实验方面的国际科学界，并协调未来大型定向暗物质实验的努力。为了产生更广泛的影响，所有演示文稿都将被存档并通过会议网站公开发布，以便许多其他人可以利用这些演讲。
