59. The light of a Billion Stars: Dark matter and the stellar halo

Geraint Lewis

06/12/2022, 10:00

Plenary

Our view of the stellar halos of large galaxies is being revolutionised as deep surveys reveal a wealth of stellar streams and shells.As the remnants of progenitors that have been tidally disrupted in the galactic potential, this stellar debris offers the promise of determining the dark matter properties of the halo. Here, I will review the current state of the field, and provide a panoramic...

137. Lower than freeze-in portal couplings can still generate DM and be measured via Gravitational Waves

Alexander Vikman (Czech Academy of Sciences (CZ))

06/12/2022, 11:00

Plenary

I will discuss a recently proposed class of models where Dark Matter (DM) is produced via an inverse phase transition. The inverse phase transition can be caused by coupling to some cosmological field. For instance, this field can be a primordial magnetic field, as in e-Print: 2010.03383 or thermal fluctuations of other fields, as in e-Print: 2104.13722. In the latter work DM is modelled as a...

39. Physics potential of CEvNS in the Standard Model and beyond

Valentina De Romeri

07/12/2022, 11:00

Plenary

I will present the physics potential of the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CEvNS) process. I will first briefly review the status of current observations. Then I will comment about their implications for both precision tests of the Standard Model and for new physics in the neutrino sector. Finally I will discuss the relevance of these measurements for direct dark matter detection probes.

Yann MAMBRINI

08/12/2022, 09:30

Plenary

I will present in this talk recent works concerning the production of
particles in the earliest stage of the Universe, between the preheating phase and the reheating time. I will insist on the subtleties of backreactions from scattering of the inflaton and apply it to the mechanism to the dark matter production in minimal extensions of the Standard Model, especially gravitational production.

Roland Crocker

Plenary

The Fermi Bubbles are giant, γ-ray emitting lobes emanating from the nucleus of the Milky Way discovered in ∼1-100 GeV data collected by the Large Area Telescope on board the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. Previous work has revealed substructure within the Fermi Bubbles that has been interpreted as a signature of collimated outflows from the Galaxy’s super-massive black hole. Here we show...

135. High-energy astrophysics with gamma-ray telescopes

Dr Gavin Rowell

09/12/2022, 09:30

Plenary

Gamma-rays are a high effective tracer of extreme particle acceleration in the cosmos and can also be used to probe fundamental, beyond-standard-model and exotic physics in the present and in the early Universe. In this talk, I will summarise some recent results in gamma-ray astronomy from the current generation of ground-based facilities (e.g. HESS, MAGIC, VERITAS, HAWC, LHAASO) focusing on...

5. Dark matter with GAMBIT

Csaba Balazs

09/12/2022, 11:30

Plenary

I give an update on results for dark matter obtained using GAMBIT, the Global And Modular BSM Inference Tool. After briefly describing the main features of the GAMBIT code, I highlight why GAMBIT is a promising framework to isolate sign of physics beyond the standard models (BSM) of particle physics and cosmology. Then I show the latest GAMBIT results for various models containing a dark...
