From astrophysical observations we conclude that about 27% of the universe consists of cold dark matter. Current theories of the exact nature of particle physics candidate for dark matter, provide several avenues for detection of this missing component of our Universe. Experimental efforts to directly verify the particle nature of this component of the Universe have been underway for more than...
The search for particle dark matter has seen tremendous progress and developments in the last decade. One of the primary methods for understanding the particle nature of dark matter is through direct detection. In this talk, I will provide an overview of the progress made in dark matter direct detection, discuss the synergies with other probes for dark matter, and give a look at what we can...
Studying galaxies provides the best glimpse at how the universe is organised on a large scale, making their properties an important part of understanding the universe's nature and evolution. The Neutral hydrogen (HI), 21-cm line emission is a powerful tracer of an essential component of baryonic matter in the Universe. Unlike other tracers at other wavelengths, HI can be traced to a much...
