New talk in the Master’s in Physics of the Universe seminar series, Dark matter searches with fixed target experiments by Laura Molina Bueno (IFIC, Valencia)
Abstract: Dark Matter is among the most pressing questions in particle physics. In this seminar, I will cover the potential of fixed target experiments to probe the Dark Matter origin and many New Physics scenarios below the electroweak scale. First, I will provide an introduction of the phenomenological models motivating such searches at accelerator-based experiments. Then, I will describe the experimental context focusing on active dump and beam-dump experiments. Finally, I will provide an overview of the prospects for the coming years.
