Abstract: In order to connect indirect detection and direct dark matter detection constraints one needs to relate physics at the scale of dark matter mass to the QCD scale. For heavy dark matter, of order electroweak scale or heavier, the two scales are well separated. In the talk I will focus on effective field theory description of the DM interacting … Read More

ABSTRACT: There has been considerable recent interest in light secluded sectors. The search strategies for such new physics crucially depend on the nature of the portal between the SM and the new physics. This talk will focus on the neutrino mixing portal, which is physically well motivated, but not yet sufficiently explored. Experimental signatures in this case are quite unique: … Read More
