Probing spin-dependent dark matter interactions with 6 Li: CRESST Collaboration
Angloher, G.; Benato, G.; Bento, A.; Bertoldo, E.; Bertolini, A.; Breier, R.; Bucci, C.; Canonica, L.; D’Addabbo, A.; Di Lorenzo, S.; Einfalt, L.CRESST is one of the most prominent direct detection experiments for dark matter particles with sub- GeV/c2 mass. One of the advantages of the CRESST experiment is the possibility to include a large variety of nuclides in the target material used to probe dark matter interactions. In this work, we discuss in particular the interactions of dark matter particles with protons and neutrons of 6Li. This is now possi...
Is the human population a large-scale indicator of the species richness of grou...
Barbosa, A. Márcia; Fontaneto, D.; Marini, L.; Pautasso, M.Aim Positive regional correlations between biodiversity and human population have been detected for several taxonomic groups and geographical regions. Such correlations could have important conservation implications and have been mainly attributed to ecological factors, with little testing for an artefactual explanation: more populated regions may show higher biodiversity because they are more thoroughly survey...
Positive regional species-people correlations: A sampling artefact or a key iss...
Barbosa, A. Márcia; Fontaneto, D.; Marini, L.; Pautasso, M.Many studies are documenting positive large-scale species– people correlations (Luck, 2007; Schuldt & Assmann, 2010). The issue is scale dependent: the local association of species richness and people is in many cases a negative one (Pautasso, 2007; Pecher et al., 2010). This biogeographical pattern is thus important for conservation. If species-rich regions are also densely populated, preserving biodiversity b...
