Dark matter
- Marek Jezabek (Polish Academy of Sciences (PL))
Dark matter accounts for 23% of the mass-energy density of the Universe, however, its nature and origins remain the most important open questions in physics. The search for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), one of the leading dark matter particle candidate, is now in a decisive phase. This talk will present the status of the leading experimental searches and summarize constraints...
In recent years, the ALICE Collaboration carried out dedicated measurement campaigns to advance the understanding of the physics of neutron stars and indirect dark matter searches and provided new input for the nuclear physics underlying these astrophysics phenomena. The study of the internal structure of neutron stars relies on the knowledge of two- and three-body strong interaction for...
Many astronomical observations indicate that the known matter accounts only for a small fraction of the observed gravitational matter of the Universe. The remaining mass, called dark matter, could be explained by weakly interacting particles with properties different from ordinary matter. Direct detection of that dark matter would be a changing discovery in the history of science and would...
The purpose of this talk is discuss the possibility of detection of dark matter through multiple observations of compact stars and related phenomena. Recent scientific and technological developments have allowed for a better study of the nature of these astrophysical objects, in particular of the equation of state (EoS). As we advance on the quest for clarification of the neutron star internal...
