Interactions of exotic particles with ordinary matter    [PDF]

Ionel Lazanu, Sorina Lazanu
The energy loss in ordinary matter of two classes of "exotic" particles: weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) and strangelets, most probably produced in different early stages of evolution of the Universe, is analysed. For the direct detection of WIMPs the signals produced by the stopping in matter of recoils are used for their identification. The influence of the orientation of the recoil in respect to crystal axes for crystalline detectors (silicon) is analysed. The strangelets are considered to pick-up neutrons during their penetration into matter, and their stopping is modelled taking also into account the effect of the mass increase.
