The quest for Dark Matter using LHC data (CANCELLED!)

by Dr Priscilla Pani (DESY)

Wednesday 26 Feb 2025, 17:00 → 18:00 Europe/London

OLL/2-036 - VC Room (Liverpool Physics)

Astrophysical observations have provided compelling evidence for the existence of a non-luminous component of the universe: Dark Matter. However, very little is known of this elusive form of matter. If Dark Matter is a particle, it can be recreated in the high-energy  proton-proton collision at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The LHC experiments have a vast and diversified experimental programme, designed in collaboration with the theoretical community, which aims to discover and precisely measure dark matter. In this talk I will provide an overview of this programme, outlining both the fundamental assumptions and the experimental challenges of this effort. I will also present a brief outlook to the future of such scientific program in view of the ongoing Run 3 data taking period and the preparation for the High-Luminosity upgrades.
