Nicholas Rodd (CERN) “Looking Beyond Dark Matter in Axion Haloscopes”

HYBRID 50A-5132 (Sessler Conference Room), https://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 50A-5132

Abstract: The coming decade will bring dramatic improvement in the axion dark-matter program as new experimental designs move beyond the proof of principle stage. In this talk I will outline two signals beyond dark matter that these instruments could discover. …

Pier Monni (CERN) “Taming the Complex Dynamics of Scattering Events”

HYBRID 50A-5132 (Sessler Conference Room), https://lbnl.zoom.us/j/91782268585 50A-5132

Abstract:  The pioneering investigation of the fundamental laws of nature at the Large Hadron Collider builds upon the interpretation ofcomplex scattering events. Our ability to identify small signals of elusive new phenomena therefore depends on accurate theoretical simulations which describe …

Anne Green (University of Nottingham) “Primordial Black Holes as a Dark Matter Candidate”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

ABSTRACT: Diverse astrophysical and cosmological observations indicate that most of the matter in the Universe is cold, dark and non-baryonic. Traditionally the most popular dark matter candidates have been new elementary particles, such as WIMPs and axions. However Primordial Black …
