Quantum critical point in a periodic Anderson model
We investigate the symmetric Periodic Anderson Model (PAM) on a
three-dimensional cubic lattice with nearest-neighbor hopping and hybridization
matrix elements. Using Gutzwiller's variational method and the Hubbard-III
approximation (which corresponds to the exact solution of an appropriate
Falicov-Kimball model in infinite dimensions) we demonstrate the existence of a
quantum critical point at zero temperature. Below a critical value of the
hybridization (or above a critical interaction ) the system is an {\em
insulator} in Gutzwiller's and a {\em semi-metal} in Hubbard's approach,
whereas above (below ) it behaves like a metal in both
approximations. These predictions are compared with the density of states of
the - and -bands calculated from Quantum Monte Carlo and NRG
calculations. Our conclusion is that the half-filled symmetric PAM contains a
{\em metal-semimetal transition}, not a metal-insulator transition as has been
suggested previously.Comment: ReVteX, 10 pages, 2 EPS figures. Minor corrections made in the text

Readout technologies for directional WIMP Dark Matter detection
The measurement of the direction of WIMP-induced nuclear recoils is a compelling but technologically challenging
strategy to provide an unambiguous signature of the detection of Galactic dark matter. Most directional detectors aim
to reconstruct the dark-matter-induced nuclear recoil tracks, either in gas or solid targets. The main challenge with directional detection is the need for high spatial resolution over large volumes, which puts strong requirements on the
readout technologies. In this paper we review the various detector readout technologies used by directional detectors.
In particular, we summarize the challenges, advantages and drawbacks of each approach, and discuss future prospects
for these technologies
