Mini Symposium on Particle Cosmology: Dark Matter in Cosmology and at Colliders

by Frank Steffen (MPP)

Wednesday 14 Nov 2007, 14:00 → 15:30 Europe/Berlin

Room 5/15 (LMU, Schellingstr. 4)

Dark matter is strong evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model. Extending the Standard Model with supersymmetry and/or the Peccei-Quinn symmetry, compelling dark matter candidates appear. For the neutralino, the gravitino, and the axino, I discuss the present status of primordial production mechanisms, cosmological constraints, and prospects of experimental identification.
