New Directions for Light Dark Matter

by Dr Yonit Hochberg (Hebrw Univ. of Jerusalem)

Tuesday 9 Mar 2021, 16:45 → 18:00 Europe/Berlin

Zoom (DESY, Zeuthen)

Particle and Astroparticle Physics Colloquium, DESY HH

The exploration of dark matter beyond the WIMP is of vital importance towards resolving the identity of dark matter. In this talk, I will focus on light dark matter. From the theory side, I will discuss new theoretical developments that suggest light dark matter. From the experimental side, I will present new proposals for the direct detection of light dark matter which hold much promise. These include the use of superconducting nanowires, two-dimensional targets such as graphene, and Dirac materials. Considering dark matter interactions with these targets, I will demonstrate the potential of the light dark matter direct detection program in upcoming years.
