Description
morning talks, overview on dark matter searches and models
In this overview talk I will try not to bore the surely already expert audience with some basic facts about Dark Matter, including evidences, candidates and searches, in order to set the tone for the more technical discussions that will follow.
In this talk I will address the theoretical aspects related to direct dark matter detection. I will review the different DM signatures, the main challenges for the (near) future, and tackle issues such as parameter reconstruction, the associated uncertainties and strategies to identify the dark matter.
The fundamental nature of dark or invisible matter remains one of the great mysteries of our time. A leading hypothesis is that dark matter is made of new elementary particles, with proposed masses and interaction cross sections spanning an enormous range. Among these, particles with masses in the MeV-TeV range could be directly observed via scatters with atomic nuclei or electrons in...
Annihilation or decay of Dark Matter (DM) can produce Standard Model particles, and in particular photons, which can be searched for in suitable astrophysical environments and reveal the, still unknown, DM properties.
I will review the current status of DM indirect searches with cosmic radiation, from radio to gamma-rays, with a focus on the latter, discussing the most promising targets and...
In this talk I will review searches for dark matter and other dark sector particles both at the energy frontier (using hadron colliders) and at the intensity frontier (using electron-positron colliders and beam-dump experiments). The focus will be on recent developments regarding model-building (strongly-interacting dark sectors, dark sectors with long-lived excited states or...
