Dark Matter: A Cosmological Perspective

Event Start:
2020-12-10T16:00:00
Event End:
2020-12-10T17:00:00
Event Information:

While it is considered to be one of the most promising hints of new physics beyond the Standard Model, dark matter is as-yet known only through its gravitational influence on astronomical and cosmological observables. I will discuss our current best evidence for dark matter's existence as well as the constraints that astrophysical probes can place on its properties, while highlighting some tantalizing anomalies that could indicate non-gravitational dark matter interactions.
