SUMMARY:Strongly-Interacting Dark Matter and Neutrino Astronomy - Dr Jonat
 han Davis (Kings College\, London)
DTSTART:20171003T140000Z

UID:TALK80841@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Andrew Papanastasiou
DESCRIPTION:I will first introduce the concept of dark matter particles wh
 ich interact with nuclear matter via strong interactions\, rather than the
  traditional weakly-interacting massive particle. I show that these partic
 les are difficult to constrain with standard direct detection experiments\
 , and that a recent surface run of the CRESST experiment can place new con
 straints on the properties of this SIMP dark matter. I also discuss neutri
 no astronomy in the context of solar and supernova neutrinos\, and show th
 at neutrinos can be used to probe the core of the sun\, and the birth of b
 lack holes.
