SEMPARIS : Le serveur des séminaires parisiens

The SEMPARIS seminar webserver hosts annoucements of all seminars taking place in Paris area, in all topics of physics, mathematics and computer science. It allows registered users to receive a selection of announcements by email on a daily or weekly basis, and offers the possibility to archive PDF or Powerpoint files, making it available to the scientific community.

Akash Kumar Saha ( Indian Institute of Sciences, Bengaluru ) Searching Dark Matter using Astrophysical and Cosmological tools

Abstract: The non-gravitational nature of dark matter (DM) is one of the most important open questions in modern physics. In this talk, I will try to explore how both astrophysical and cosmological tools can help us in the search for DM. In the first half, I will discuss how Dark matter (DM) particles can get captured inside the Sun due to DM-electron interaction. As the number of these captured DM particles increases, they can annihilate and produce different Standard Model (SM) final states, including neutrinos and anti-neutrinos. Using data-sets from the IceCube neutrino observatory we put the most stringent constraints on DM-electron scattering cross sections in the DM mass range 10 GeV to 10^5 GeV. In the second half, I will show the effects of evaporating primordial black hole (PBH) DM on Intergalactic Medium (IGM) temperature and ionization history. Lyman-alpha forest is a powerful probe of IGM temperature. Using existing Lyman-alpha forest data-sets we put competitive limits on the fraction of DM made up of PBH.
