This meeting is sponsored by the Ambassade de France en Allemagne and the DAAD.
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 represented by its centers DESY, KIT and GSI, focusses 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.
During the meeting we aim to discuss the ongoing projects as well as new ideas.
