45. Dark Matter and Dark Sectors at the LHC

Luca Lavezzo (MIT)

5/25/24, 10:45 AM

I will discuss the LHC search efforts for dark matter and dark-sector particles.

38. Dark-Matter Mass from Angular Dependence

Prof. Jong-Chul Park (Chungnam National University (KR))

5/25/24, 11:10 AM

We propose a novel method to determine the mass scale of ambient dark matter that can be generally applied to the (at least effectively) two-dimensional direct detection experiments allowing for directional observables.

30. The cosmology of ultralight scalar dark matter coupled to right-handed neutrinos

Ryan Plestid

5/25/24, 11:35 AM

Ultralight dark matter (ULDM) must be bosonic, and the arguably simplest model is furnished by a scalar field that is uncharged under the Standard Model gauge group oscillating in a harmonic potential. This field will generically couple to other BSM singlet states such as sterile neutrinos or other progenitors of neutrino mass. In this talk I will discuss how interactions between ULDM and...

3. Detecting Rare Species of Dark Matter with Terrestrial Detectors

Anupam Ray

5/25/24, 12:00 PM

A sub-component of dark matter with a short collision length compared to a planetary size leads to efficient accumulation of dark matter in astrophysical bodies. Such particles represent an interesting physics target since they can evade existing bounds from direct detection due to their rapid thermalization in high-density environments. In this talk, I will show that their annihilation to...
