Network in Neutrinos, Nuclear Astrophysics, and Symmetries (N3AS) Seminar
Dark Matter vs Neutrinos
Date: Tuesday, April 29th
Time: 2:00 pm
Place: Join Zoom Meeting:
Speaker: Aaron Vincent , Queen's University
Abstract: I will discuss the ongoing search for the nature of dark matter, and the possibility of finding it through the most invisible channel: the neutrino. Even though detection is difficult, neutrino telescopes provide observations that span a staggering 14 decades in energy, leading to broad constraints on dark matter models. Other indirect constraints, including cosmological effects on large scale structure and nucleosynthesis, and the relic abundance allow us to hone in on the parameter space. Finally, at high energies, the Glashow resonance allows for a much stronger sensitivity to new dark signals from heavy dark matter than previously thought, and one of the only smoking gun signatures of asymmetric dark matter.
