Latest Results in Dark Matter Searches

Europe/Stockholm
Description

This 3-day workshop on latest results in Dark Matter searches is coordinated with the on-going Nordita program "What is Dark Matter?"

The workshop will take place in Stockholm on 12-14 May, running from approximately 9:00 until 18:00 each day, and consisting of plenary sessions. The topics will include:
  • Experiments: Direct Detection
  • Experiments: Indirect Detection
  • Dark Matter at Colliders
  • WIMP and non-WIMP Theory
  • Experiments: Non-WIMP
  • Halo modeling and Propagation
  • Interpretations and Global fits
  • Dark Matter Particle Physics Codes
