Title: Non-abelian dark matter: Implications for dark matter searches and cosmology
Host: Ennio Salvioni
Room: 432
Abstract: In this talk I examine models in which dark matter is charged under a non-Abelian hidden gauge group. I focus in the case in which the hidden gauge symmetry is unbroken and has confinement scale below the current CMB temperature. In this limit the relevant degrees of freedom are the dark-colored dark matter and the massless dark gluons. I will describe the effects associated with this non-Abelian interactions for dark matter searches and also its effects in the CMB and Large-Scale Structure.
