News on 23/11/2021: The meeting will be held on ZOOM only.
Dark matter is one of the great puzzles of nature: according to current estimates, more than 85\% of the matter in the universe is in the form of dark (only gravitating) matter, of which today we know nothing. Any discovery of new physics will be related directly or indirectly to dark matter: by discovering a dark matter particle or by measuring fundamental properties in models providing a dark matter candidate. Dark matter is also likely related to gravitational waves and multi-messenger astroparticle physics.
The International Research Laboratory (IRL) DMLab between the CNRS/IN2P3 and the Helmholtz association which will focus on the theme of dark matter.
To address various challenges in dark matter physics the IRL is structured in six topics: direct dark matter searches, multi-messenger particle physics and gravitational waves, novel accelerator concepts, computing and data science, particle detector technologies, and theoretical physics.
The DMLab --- a laboratory situated outside France -- will be located at DESY, which will act as the scientific and administrative hub, and extend over three other Helmholtz centres (FZJ, GSI, and KIT). The lab will act as a centre for french-german collaboration in areas of research connected to dark matter.
In the scientific kickoff the first joint projects, described in the IRL white paper, will be discussed as well as ideas for new projects.
