638. Machine Learning Does it and Does it Better: Unearthing Primordial Dark-Matter Velocities from the Matter Spectrum

Prof. Brooks Thomas (Lafayette College)

6/30/26, 2:00 PM

Speaker: Brooks Thomas
Abstract: One effective way of learning about the production and properties of dark matter in the early universe is by extracting information about the primordial dark-matter phase-space distribution from the matter power spectrum. Recently a simple empirical formula was introduced which is capable of reproducing most of the salient features of the dark-matter...

639. Illuminating the Dark Sector at Neutrino Experiments

Joshua Berger (Colorado State University)

6/30/26, 3:00 PM

Speaker: Joshua Berger
Abstract: Current and upcoming accelerator-based neutrino experiments will offer new sensitivity to the dark sector by involving the largest detectors and most intense proton beams. I will discuss several candidate dark sector models for which the leading sensitivity is found at neutrino experiments. The models I focus on include dark sector portals, boosted dark...
