Description | Joint Theory Seminar Speaker: Prateek Agrawal 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. |
