Explore the potential of strong gravitational lensing as a probe for dark matter in this 21-minute conference talk by Simona Vegetti from the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics (MPA). Recorded as part of the "Cosmic Signals of Dark Matter Physics: New Synergies" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP), delve into the latest developments in theory, cosmological simulations, and observational capabilities that have expanded the landscape for dark matter discovery. Gain insights into how strong gravitational lensing can provide valuable information about the nature and distribution of dark matter across cosmic epochs and length scales. Learn about the ongoing efforts to extract dark matter physics from cosmic observables and the potential synergies between particle physics, cosmology, and astronomy in constraining the elusive properties of dark matter.
