Physics Colloquium: "Dark Matter Searches at the South Pole"
Start Date: 12/5/2013Start Time: 3:30 PM
End Date: 12/5/2013End Time: 4:30 PM
Event Description
Reina Maruyama, PhD, assistant professor at Yale University

 

Abstract: Astrophysical observations and cosmological data give overwhelming evidence that a majority of the universe is comprised of what we call dark energy and dark matter. Maruyama will describe dark matter and the current status of dark matter searches. To conclude, she will describe DM-Ice, a proposed direct detection dark matter experiment at the South Pole. The aim of the experiment is to look for the predicted annual modulation signature due to dark matter.
