From WIMPs to PBHs - Indirect Detection of Heavy Dark Matter

Explore the theoretical foundations and detection methods for heavy dark matter candidates in this 32-minute conference talk that examines the transition from Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) to Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) as viable dark matter explanations. Learn about indirect detection strategies used to identify these elusive particles, understand the theoretical framework connecting different heavy dark matter models, and discover current research approaches in dark matter physics. Gain insights into the challenges and opportunities in detecting dark matter through indirect methods, including the analysis of cosmic ray signatures, gamma-ray emissions, and other observable phenomena that could reveal the presence of heavy dark matter in the universe.
