CCAPP Seminar - Haibo Yu (U. of Michigan) "Exploring Dark Matter From Colliders to the Cosmos"

**note: special date and time

Astrophysical and cosmological observations provide compelling evidence for the existence of dark matter in the Universe, but its particle physics nature remains mysterious. The weakly-interacting massive particle (WIMP) has been proposed as a dark matter candidate. In this talk, I will first show that particle colliders including the Tevatron and the LHC are powerful tools to hunt for WIMP dark matter. I will also discuss dark matter models beyond the WIMP paradigm and search strategies for them. Astrophysical objects such as neutron stars and dwarf galaxies provide natural laboratories for exploring dark matter beyond the WIMP.
