Carsten Rott - Novel Searches for Dark Matter Novel Searches for Dark MatterWishlist & Goals
Carsten Rott - Novel Searches for Dark Matter Wishlists List of things that would be nice, both viewed from a theoretical and experimental perspective Help defining (near term) goals, targeted list Workshop will serve to establish needed contacts and define a path towards achieving results outlined on the wishlist, taking feasibility into account What do we mean ? • Workshop Goals • Accomplishments to be achieved during the workshop
Carsten Rott - Novel Searches for Dark Matter Workshop Goals • General • Topic driven workshop, focus on what is relevant for “Novel Searches for Dark Matter with Neutrino Telescopes” • Specifically develop analysis outline (example annihilation signal from the galactic halo, …) • Develop / Explore the relevance of issues during this workshop • Strongly encourage discussions and exploration of new ideas • Flexible schedule, ...
Carsten Rott - Novel Searches for Dark Matter Workshop Goals • Review theoretical aspects especially relevant for indirect DM searches • Dark Matter Properties • Halo Properties • Annihilation/Decay • Expected Dark Matter Signals (indirect) • Backgrounds • Review latest instrumentation and their performance of selected experiments • Photons • Neutrinos • Develop analysis strategies • Analysis Priority list (Halo DM search with neutrinos) • Pros and cons • Galactic center • Stacking clumps (How ..) • Flux anisotropy measurement (all sky) • … • Interplay between channels (gamma, neutrino, …) X p, … X
Carsten Rott - Novel Searches for Dark Matter Annihilation rate ~2 Photons, neutrinos, leptons, etc … Photons vs. Neutrinos • Fast progress is made on the experimental side • The workshop will focus on the complementarily of photons and neutrinos • Focus should not be on answering the question if the discovery potential of Dark Matter annihilations in the galactic halo is higher with photon or neutrinos • Learn from each others experience, develop common analysis methods
Carsten Rott - Novel Searches for Dark Matter Wishlist • Theory to Experiment • What Galactic Halo Model • DM properties (MSSM ?) • DM annihilation • Excl. hard, soft, direct ? What is preferred ? • Limits/Results (annihilation cross-section vs. halo model) • .... • Experiment to Theory • What is the experiment capable of ? • Performance parameters • ...
Carsten Rott - Novel Searches for Dark Matter Practical • Dedicated workshop website with resources • Talks (of the workshop) • Follow ups • Working documents (could evolve to publications) • Links, references
