Detecting Dark Matter with Celestial Objects
Abstract:
Dark Matter (DM) remains mysterious. Despite decades of experimental and theoretical efforts, its microscopic identity is still unknown to us. In this talk, I will walk you through how a variety of celestial objects can be utilised as powerful DM detectors. This astrophysical probe, complementary to the terrestrial and cosmological probes, covers a significant portion of the DM parameters (DM mass and its interaction strength with nucleons) which otherwise remains elusive.
Anupam Ray is a new postdoctoral fellow in the theory group at Queen’s University.
The McDonald Institute seminar will be held in Stirling 501. A Zoom link is also available and shared via email by the organizers. Please reach out to admin@mcdonaldinstitute.ca for access.
