Dark Matter Phenomenology Beyond the WIMP Paradigm

Explore dark matter phenomenology beyond the traditional WIMP (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles) paradigm in this seminar presented by Maira Dutra from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. Delve into alternative theoretical frameworks and observational approaches for understanding dark matter that extend beyond the conventional WIMP model. Examine emerging paradigms in dark matter research, including their theoretical foundations, phenomenological implications, and potential observational signatures. Learn about current challenges in dark matter detection and how researchers are expanding their search strategies to encompass a broader range of dark matter candidates. Gain insights into the latest developments in dark matter physics from a leading researcher at one of the world's premier space science institutions, and understand how the field is evolving to address the limitations of traditional WIMP-based models.
