New Frontiers in Dark Matter Detection

COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited

Abstract

Dark matter, detected thus far only through its couplings to gravity, remains an enigma. It is therefore essential to pursue a broad portfolio of search strategies to test for non-gravitational interactions between dark matter and visible matter. In this talk, I give an overview of recent progress in detecting dark matter and related particles, ranging from ultralight axion-like particles to hidden sector dark forces.
