Searches, Theories, Results, Opportunities, and New ideas for sub-GeV Dark Matter

5 Aug 2019, 09:00 → 16 Aug 2019, 21:45 Europe/Zurich

Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics

The workshop that will take place at the Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics (ESI) shall act as a forum for theorists and experimentalists to discuss searches, theories, results, opportunities, and, in general, new ideas for sub-GeV Dark Matter. The meeting will focus on models and regions in parameter space that are overlooked by the standard WIMP studies, and that may open a new window into the dark sector. The two-week program will have both seminar-style and shorter talks, altogether in a relaxed manner that will set aside ample time for interaction and collaboration. If you are local, and interested in participating in the program, please register here.  

In addition, during the second week, Aug 12-13, we will host the two day Light Dark World International Forum 2019.
