Title: Detecting and discriminating WIMP Dark Matter: A
model-independent approach
Host: Markus Luty

Abstract: I will discuss how we can use results from dark matter
experiments to draw model-independent conclusions about the nature of
WIMP dark matter. Specifically, I show that combining the results of
direct detection experiments with data from neutrino telescopes can
help establish whether the dark matter particle is its own
anti-particle. Further, I will discuss model-independent features of
the photon continuum and line spectra arising from dark matter
annihilation, and show how these may be used to obtain general
constraints on theories of dark matter.
