7. Complementarity of Searches for Dark Matter

Tim Tait

29/01/2013, 16:30

I'll discuss perspectives on how different types of searches for particle dark matter (direct, indirect, and production at colliders) are complementary, with emphasis on how theoretical descriptions of dark matter interactions with the Standard Model can help clarify the inter-relation of various search strategies.

8. On the annual modulations in direct-detection experiments and the DAMA results

Itay Yavin

29/01/2013, 16:55

In this talk I will discuss recent results concerning the annual modulations expected in experiments looking for dark matter recoils in the lab. I will begin by describing the general properties of this problem including some new tools. I will then focus on the DAMA result and its relation to the modulations of cosmic muons. I will end by discussing the relation between the modulated and...

33. Flavored Dark Matter: Direct Detection and Collider Signals

Zacharia Chacko

31/01/2013, 16:55

I consider theories where the dark matter particle carries flavor quantum numbers, and has renormalizable contact interactions with the Standard Model fields. The phenomenology of this scenario depends sensitively on whether dark matter carries lepton flavor, quark flavor or its own internal flavor quantum numbers. I show that each of these possibilities is associated with a characteristic...

42. Beyond Collisionless Dark Matter

Hai-bo Yu

Self-interacting dark matter has been proposed to solve small scale structure problems. In this talk, we will present a simple and generic self-interacting dark matter model where dark matter particles interact through a sub-GeV force carrier. We show that the simple model can accommodate all astrophysical bounds on self-interactions in dark matter halos and explain the observed relic...

44. An Unexpected Journey: The Implications of the Detection of Continuum Energy Gamma-rays Consistent with Dark Matter Annihilation in the Galactic Center

It has been known for some time that the center of the Milky Way Galaxy would be the most luminous source of gamma-ray photons from dark matter annihilation. Our recent work shows that observations by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope reveal that Galactic Center (GC) has a source with large luminosity and high statistical significance that is consistent with extended emission from dark...
