- Astrophysical Probes of Complex Dark Sectors
- Time: 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
- Place: Chamberlin 5280
- Speaker: Caleb Gemmell, UW-Madison
- Abstract: Complex dark sectors are models where a 'sector' of new particles with intra-sector interactions are used to extend the Standard Model. Motivated by theoretical considerations such as the Hierarchy Problem, these models generically also provide dark matter candidates. In this talk I will cover a range of astrophysical probes from the indirect detection of dark matter to using cosmological simulations to study sub-galactic structure, and outline how these methods are sensitive to the novel interactions and signatures that become possible in new dark confining sectors, or models of atomic dark matter.
