High Energy Physics Seminar
Probing dark matter with cosmic voids
Elena Pinetti,
Fermilab & KICP,
In this talk, I will explain why cosmic voids are an interesting new target for dark matter searches. I will show that the expected signal-to-noise ratio resulting from decaying dark matter is significantly more favourable in cosmic voids as compared to dark matter halos, as a result of the reduced astrophysical background. This opens an exciting new avenue for dark matter searches.
The talk is in 469 Lauritsen.
