Abstract: Progress in particle physics research comes from the connection of physics motivation to high energy accelerator experiments. Several key mysteries such as the nature of dark matter and fine tuning in the Higgs mass underline the need for new physics at the TeV scale, and the Large Hadron Collider provides an essential probe for discovery in this regime.

Title: A Path to Detecting Self-Interacting Dark Matter using Astrophysical Sub-Structure Abstract: Dark matter self interactions can leave distinctive signatures on the properties of satellite galaxies around Milky Way-like hosts. By analyzing a number of Milky Way dwarf galaxies, we were able to place new constraints on models of self-interacting dark matter which interact via a Yukawa potential. The results push the … Read More
