Seminar

New dark matter searches in the Super-Kamiokande

by Koun Choi (IBS)

Australia/Sydney
Description

Neutrino experiments have been investigating WIMP-induced signals through indirect detection methods. By examining excess neutrinos from the Galactic center, Sun, or Earth, beyond the atmospheric neutrino background, competitive sensitivities to WIMPs with masses down to 1 GeV have been achieved. Despite decades of efforts, not much has been learned, prompting exploration of innovative approaches. Various ideas for leveraging the current and upcoming neutrino experiments in dark matter searches are being explored. This talk summarizes recent findings and ongoing analyses in indirect and direct dark matter searches at Super-Kamiokande. The pursuit of light dark matter is discussed, highlighting the neutron tagging and Machine Learning techniques.
