77. Advancements in Direct Dark Matter Detection with XENONnT

Cecilia Ferrari

3/21/24, 11:00 AM

4. Gravitational waves, astrophysical and collider phenomenology

Direct experimental evidences of dark matter have been searched exploiting several technologies.
Among these, liquid xenon TPCs have demonstrated extraordinary sensitivity for WIMP dark matter searches.
Moreover, the XENONnT experiment has also recently demonstrated to reach an unprecedented level of WIMP sensitivity and electronic-recoil background, unlocking the possibility of exploring...

72. Indirect Dark Matter Searches in Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies

Tjark Miener (UniGE - DPNC)

3/21/24, 11:30 AM

4. Gravitational waves, astrophysical and collider phenomenology

One of the most pressing questions for modern physics is the nature of dark matter (DM). Several efforts have been made to model this elusive kind of matter since the largest fraction of DM cannot consist of any of the known particles of the Standard Model (SM) according to the Lambda-CDM model. Among the candidates proposed to explain the nature of DM, weakly interacting massive particles...

44. The search for dark matter with the Cherenkov Telescope Array

Christopher Eckner (University of Nova Gorica, Center for Astrophysics and Cosmology)

3/21/24, 12:00 PM

4. Gravitational waves, astrophysical and collider phenomenology

The flux of high-energy gamma rays provides crucial information for constraining the properties of particle dark matter candidates, such as Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) or Axion-Like Particles (ALPs). Slowly but steadily entering the construction phase at its sites in both the northern and southern hemispheres, the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is set out to explore the sky...
