Search for a Dark Matter component

Abstract

In this paper, after reviewing some of the most important concepts about Dark Matter (DM) and methods of its registration, in particular by using SQUIDs, we focus on two main problems. First, the possible mechanism of magnetic moment origin for DM particles, in the form of neutralino, is discussed: the presence of a magnetic moment means the existence of a new kind of interaction, whose corresponding cross section is estimated. Second, a simple uniform model for DM and Dark Energy (DE) is proposed. Two types of devices based on SQUID, in particular the SQUID-paramagnetic absorber and the SQUID-magnetostrictor systems, both suitable for investigations of above problems, are considered.
