Description
I will talk about the idea of dark matter velocity spectroscopy and its application for sterile neutrino dark matter searches: how high-resolution x-ray instruments can distinguish line emission from dark matter, hot gas, and instrumental artifacts. With a sufficiently precise instrument, this general technique can provide an additional and important handle in diagnosing tentative dark matter line signals.
