Special HEP-Astro Seminar | Searching for Dark Matter from the Lowest to the Highest Energies
Bjoern Penning (Brandeis University)
Dark Matter (DM) is a long standing puzzle in fundamental physics and goal of a diverse research program. In underground experiments such as LZ we search for DM directly using lowest possible energy thresholds, at the LHC we seek to produce dark matter at the very highest energies, and using telescopes we look for telltale signatures in the cosmos. All these detection methods probe different parts of the possible parameters space with complementary strengths. I will present current DM searches, their connection and how an interdisciplinary program bridging different experimental frontiers can achieve optimal sensitivity. Finally, I will highlight recent theoretical and experimental developments and the near term discovery prospects in upcoming experiments.
