Abstract |
There is a substantial effort in the physics community to search for dark matter interactions with the
Standard Model of particle physics. Collisions between dark matter particles and baryons exchange heat
and momentum in the early Universe, enabling a search for dark matter interactions using cosmological
observations in a parameter space that is complementary to that of direct detection. In this talk, I will
describe the effects of scattering in cosmology and show constraints using Planck 2015 data and SDSS-
identified satellites. |
