  1. 304. Axions and Axion-Like Particles as the Cold Dark Matter
    Dr Luca Visinelli (Stockholm U. and Nordita)
    07/11/2017, 13:45
    I revise the axion as a cosmological probe and a cold dark matter candidate, in both standard and modified thermal histories of the Universe. I will also discuss about the possibility that dark matter is in the form of "ultra-light" axions.

  2. 308. Axion search with the CASPEr experiment
    Dr Alfredo Davide Ferella (Stockholm University)
    07/11/2017, 14:00
    Axions and axion like particles (ALPs) belong to a class of well motivated dark matter candidates. A variety of techniques are employed in several experimental efforts to directly detect them. An oscillating axion field can exert a time-varying torque on the nuclear spins; such spin precession can be detected using nuclear magnetic resonance techniques, as in the Cosmic Axion Spin...

  3. 315. Determining dark matter particle properties with direct detection experiments
    Dr Riccardo Catena (Chalmers University of Technology)
    07/11/2017, 14:15
    Direct detection experiments search for nuclear recoil events induced by the non- relativistic scattering of Milky Way dark matter (DM) particles in low-background detectors. Current strategies for the experimental analysis and theory interpretation of direct detection experiments focus on two parameters: the DM particle mass, and the cross-section for DM-nucleon scattering computed...

  4. 311. Nuclear structure calculations for dark matter searches
    Dr Daniel Gazda (Chalmers University of Technology)
    07/11/2017, 14:30
    In this contribution we will report on calculations of reaction rates for dark matter particles scattering off selected nuclear targets relevant for dark matter direct detection experiments. A model-independent effective field theory approach was used to construct the most general form of low-energy dark matter particle-nucleus interaction. The resulting nuclear matrix elements were...

  5. 314. LDMX - A Light Dark Matter eXperiment
    Ruth Pöttgen (Lund University)
    07/11/2017, 14:45
    The origin and observed abundance of Dark Matter in the Universe can be explained elegantly by the thermal freeze-out mechanism, leading to a preferred mass range of the Dark Matter particles in the MeV-TeV region. The GeV-TeV mass range is being explored intensely by the variety of experiments searching for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles. The sub-GeV region, however, in which the...

  6. 317. Determining Dark Matter properties with a XENONnT/LZ signal and LHC-Run3 mono-jet searches
    Dr Martin Krauss (CHALMERS UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY)
    07/11/2017, 15:00
    We develop a method to forecast the outcome of the LHC Run 3 based on the hypothetical detection of O(100) signal events at XENONnT. Our method relies on a systematic classification of renormalisable single-mediator models for dark matter- quark interactions, and is valid for dark matter candidates of spin less than or equal to one. Applying our method to simulated data, we find that at...
