  1. 16. Dark Matter, Ancient Rocks, a Band of Higgs Bosons, and a Big Collider : or, Models of New Physics and Some Ways to Probe Them

    Författare :Sebastian Baum; Katherine Freese; Marco Cirelli; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; particle phenomenology; supersymmetry; dark matter; higgs boson; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

    Sammanfattning : The past ~ 50 years have seen a remarkable success of particle physics. In the 1970s, the Standard Model was formulated and in 2012 its final ingredient, the Higgs boson, was discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The Standard Model describes virtually all particle physics observable in the laboratory. LÄS MER

  2. 17. Dark Matter Phenomenology in Astrophysical Systems

    Författare :Stefan Clementz; Mattias Blennow; Kai Schmidt-Hoberg; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysik; Physics;

    Sammanfattning : There is now a great deal of evidence in support of the existence of a large amount of unseen gravitational mass, commonly called dark matter, from observations in astrophysical systems of sizes ranging from that of dwarf galaxies to the scale of the entire Universe. One of the most promising explanations for this unseen mass is that it consists of a species of unobserved elementary particles. LÄS MER

  3. 18. Constraining the Dark Matter Parameter Space

    Författare :Sunniva Jacobsen; Katherine Freese; Ilias Cholis; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Theoretical Physics; teoretisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : The nature of dark matter (DM) is one of the greatest mysteries of modern physics. Itmakes up 25% of the total energy-matter content in the Universe, and is essential forexplaining the large-scale structures we observe in the Universe. Little is known aboutthe nature of dark matter, and the number of possible theories is vast. LÄS MER

  4. 19. Indirect Detection of Neutralino Dark Matter

    Författare :Piero Ullio; Marc Kamionkowski; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Theoretical Physics; teoretisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : The detection of dark matter is a primary issue in today's astrophysics. Although the lightest supersymmetric particle, generally assumed to be a neutralino, is an excellent dark matter candidate, it is not easy to prove that such particles are the main component of galactic halos.

  5. 20. Quest for quantum signatures in Axion Dark Matter and Gravity

    Författare :Vasileios Fragkos; Igor Pikovski; Ingemar Bengtsson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Axion Dark Matter; Gravity; Quantum mechanics; Theoretical Physics; teoretisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : This licentiate thesis in theoretical physics focuses on the existence of quantum features in physical systems such as axion dark matter and gravity. Our focus is mostly on effects which appear at low energies, a regime in which our models can be confronted with current experiments or within the foreseeable future. LÄS MER
