News from the dark

4 déc. 2013, 08:00 → 6 déc. 2013, 18:00 Europe/Paris

Andromède (Bâtiment 11, 4ie étage (Build. 11, 4th floor))

Julien Lavalle (Lab. Univers et Particules de Montpellier (LUPM))

This workshop is dedicated to technical discussions on dark matter searches: model building, searches at colliders, indirect/direct searches, other searches (e.g. for axion-like particles), astro/cosmo inputs/constraints. The number of participants will be limited to ~30, in order to optimize the discussion sessions. We acknowledge financial support from LUPM, CNRS-IN2P3, Université Montpellier II, and Labex OCEVU.
