Astroparticle physics phenomenology

Talk

The dark matter particle is currently being searched for with several observational channels, including the LHC and direct detection experiments. These experiments already place constraints on a number of theoretical WIMP models, including weak-scale supersymmetry (SUSY). In this talk, I will present constraints on the parameters of the constrained Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model...

Astroparticle physics phenomenology

Talk

I will discuss the new neutrino telescope likelihood routines in DarkSUSY. These are based on a fast method for including event-level IceCube data in likelihood calculations, and are optimised for global-fit type parameter explorations of theories for new physics. The likelihood construction is not at all specific to SUSY, and includes both angular and spectral information about neutrino...
