Description

Dear friends of IDM,

IDM2020 was held online from July 20-22 2020.
Please find all slides and videos of the talks in the timetable

Most videos may also be found on youtube

The classic in-person conference - IDM 2022 - will take place from July 18 - 22, 2022 in Vienna. Please find the indico page for 2022 here.

The 13th conference on the identification of dark matter - IDM2020/22 - is organized by the Institute of high energy physics (HEPHY), Vienna.

The aim of IDM is to draw a complete picture on the current knowledge of dark matter from cosmological scale down to particle physics, from accelerator searches to recent results in indirect and direct detection and to give a glance on future prospects and technological advancements on the endeavor to identify dark matter.

The following topics are the focus of the conference:

Direct and indirect detection of dark matter
Axions and ALPs
Sterile neutrinos
Searches for dark matter at accelerators
Dark matter simulations
Cosmological evidence for dark matter
Underground laboratories
Background in dark matter searches

    The future of axion physics
    
    Axions and axion-like particles are excellent dark matter candidates, spanning a vast range of mass scales from the milli- and micro-eV for the QCD axion, to 10^(-22)eV for ultralight axions that make up the "axiverse". In some scenarios, the collapse of the non-homogeneous axion field leads to the formation of two kind of compact structures, known as axion "miniclusters" and axion "stars". I will first discuss astrophysical and cosmological constraints on axions at either end of this spectrum, using data from the cosmic microwave background anisotropies and the effects of miniclusters on the gravitational microlensing and on direct detection. I will anticipate some work in progress at GRAPPA on the new branch of "axion radio-astronomy" that involves neutron stars and axions. I will then assess the formation and the evolution of axion stars in various astrophysical regimes.
