Searching for Axion Dark Matter: Quantum Sensors and the Dark Matter Radio
Event Start:
2019-04-04T16:00:00
Event End:
2019-04-04T17:00:00
Event Information:
One of the most enduring mysteries in particle physics is the nature of the non-baryonic dark matter that makes up 85% of the matter in the universe. For several decades, most searches for this mysterious substance have focused on Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). Recently, there has been a surge in theoretical interest in ultra-light, wave-like dark matter candidates, including the strongly motivated QCD axion.
