Novel signatures for direct detection of WIMP dark matter
Speaker(s): Adam Ritz
Abstract: Dark sectors with multi-component WIMP states, with small MeV- to GeV-scale splittings, can lead to more complex signatures in direct detection experiments. I'll discuss some scenarios with excited states charged under either the Standard Model or hidden sector gauge groups, and the ensuing constrai... read more

Resonant scattering and recombination of pseudo-degenerate WIMPs
Speaker(s): Adam Ritz
Abstract: WIMP dark matter candidates chi^0 have interesting signatures for direct and indirect detection in regimes where there is a near degeneracy with a heavier charged state chi^{pm}, as occurs for example along the boundary of the coannihilation strip in the CMSSM. For small splittings of O(10) MeV, the... read more
