1 Gondolo, PaoloPhase-space distribution of unbound dark matter near the sunWe resolve discrepancies in previous analyses of the flow of collisionless dark matter particles in the Sun's gravitational field. We determine the phase-space distribution of the flow both numerically, tracing particle trajectories back in time, and analytically, providing a simple correct relati...Phase-space distribution; Gravitational field; Velocity functions2006-10
2 Gondolo, PaoloDaily modulation due to channeling in direct dark matter crystalline detectorsThe channeling of the ion recoiling after a collision with a weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) in direct dark matter crystalline detectors produces a larger scintillation or ionization signal than otherwise expected. Channeling is a directional effect, which depends on the velocity distrib...2011
3 Gondolo, PaoloDirectional recoil rates for WIMP direct detectionNew techniques for the laboratory direct detection of dark matter weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are sensitive to the recoil direction of the struck nuclei.We compute and compare the directional recoil rates dR/d cosθ, (where θ is the angle measured from a reference direction in th...WIMP; Weakly interacting massive particles; WMAP 3; Directional recoil; Halo models2008-02
4 Bowling, David R.Impacts of anthropogenic emissions and cold air pools on urban to montane gradients of snowpack ion concentrations in the Wasatch Mountains, UtahUrban montane valleys are often characterized by periodic wintertime temperature inversions (cold air pools) that increase atmospheric particulate matter concentrations, potentially stimulating the deposition of major ions to these snow-covered ecosystems. We assessed spatial and temporal patterns o...2014-01-01
5 Gondolo, PaoloRing-like features in directional dark matter detectionWe discuss a novel dark matter signature relevant for directional detection of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). For heavy enough WIMPs and low enough recoil energies, the maximum of the recoil rate is not in the direction of the average WIMP arrival direction but in a ring around it at ...2012-01-01
6 Davidson, Diane W.; Rickart, Eric Allan; Keiter, Robert B.Selecting wilderness areas to conserve Utah's biological diversityCongress is currently evaluating the wilderness status of Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public lands in Utah. Wilderness areas play many important roles, and one critical role is the conservation of biological diversity.Bureau of Land Management; Conservation; Endemic species; Exotic species; Cryptobiotic soils; Plants; Bees; Vertebrates1996
