There are many astrophysical observations and cosmological evidence for the existence of dark matter (DM), but little is known of its particle nature. The Standard Model (SM) does not predict its existence, however numerous theories beyond the Standard Model (BSM) provide viable candidates for dark matter. Common candidates in many of these theoretical models are the weakly interacting massive...

Talk

NA62 is a precision physics experiment studying charged kaons and their decay products with an unprecedented accuracy (measurement of the $K^+ \to \pi^+ \nu\bar{\nu}$ branching ratio of the order of 10^{-11}), allowing to probe indirectly new physics scales up to O(100) TeV. NA62 experiment also searches directly for weakly interacting particles of up to O(100) MeV masses in kaon decays and up...

37. Search for Axion Dark Matter

Claudio Gatti (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare)

30/09/2022, 12:15

Talk

The axion, a pseudoscalar particle originally introduced to solve the ‘’strong CP problem’’, is a well motivated dark-matter candidate with a mass lying in a broad range from peV to few meV. Axions clustered inside our galaxy may be observed by means of detectors called “haloscopes” consisting in a resonant cavity immersed in a static magnetic field that triggers the axion conversion to...

43. Searches for ultra long-lived particles

Prof. Paolo Camarri (ROMA2)

Talk

In the quest for particle dark matter and physics beyond the Standard Model, the possibility of the existence of neutral long-lived particles (LLPs) has been proposed. The MATHUSLA project has been designed as a surface experiment to detect possible LLPs produced in collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The MATHUSLA detector will cover a 10^4 m^2 surface and will have 9 layers of...
