Description

Understanding the laws governing the dark matter dynamics in the Universe is undoubtedly one of the pressing questions in astro-particle physics. While investigations of elementary particles as potential dark matter candidates have been at the heart of investigations, an equally interesting possibility arises if dark matter is instead a composite particle. I will take an overview of dark matter theories arising from extensions of Standard Model with new non-Abelian sector. Investigations of dynamics of such dark sectors benefits from connections to lattice calculations. I will take an example of SU(4) theories with a spin-0 dark proton as a dark matter candidate and highlight the collider phenomenology in association with lattice calculations. I will in particular highlight the importance of the Standard Model precision measurements in such investigations. 

The seminar will be in person in Niels Bohr, Schuster. For those connecting remotely please use:
