T2-4 Indirect and collider searches for dark matter (PPD) | Recherches indirectes et par collisionneurs pour la matière sombre (PPD)
- Michel Vetterli (Simon Fraser University (CA))
The NEWS-G direct dark matter search experiment is using spherical proportional counters (SPCs) with light noble gases as Ne, He, H to explore very low mass WIMPs parameter space. First results obtained with a SPC prototype operated with Ne gas at the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane (LSM) have already placed NEWS-G as a leader in the search for low-mass WIMPs. Recent and planned...
Models of particle dark matter (DM) that lead to the observed relic abundance today generically predict ongoing annihilation or decay into energetic standard model particles. Effective couplings to the standard model also imply that particle colliders such as the LHC can produce invisible particles which could be detected via enhancements in collision cross sections, or as missing energy and...
One of the main focuses of the ATLAS experiment is the search for dark matter (DM) production in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These searches are commonly interpreted in terms of simplified models with a spin-0 or spin-1 mediator particle propagating interactions between the visible and dark sectors. Simplified models lead to familiar Mono-X signatures where the...
Dark matter is the dominant matter component of the universe. Despite its dominance over baryonic matter, the true nature of dark matter in unknown. One dark matter candidate is the weakly interactive massive particle (WIMP), invoked in several extensions to the Standard Model. The self-annihilation or decay of WIMP particles in regions of high dark matter density can produce secondary...
