Abstract

The fundamental nature of Dark Matter (DM) is heretofore entirely unknown. Inter-
acting only gravitationally, to this form of matter is attributed many astronomical
observations of behaviors astronomic. Explanations of DM abound, ranging from
Weakly-Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) of a range of mass-energies from
O(100 GeV) [1] down to below O(1e-20 eV) [10].
Mirror matter is a proposed explanation for dark matter as well as a means of
explaining the baryon asymmetry of the universe. Here I present my work on the
analysis of two experiments performed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory as well
as a third-party analysis of an experiment performed at the Institut Laue-Langevin
in Grenoble, France.
