Probes of light dark matter in relativistic regime
Abstract: Dark matter interactions are traditionally probed in the non-relativistic regime characteristic of cold DM in the present-day universe. However, this strategy is insufficient for probing a class of important thermal DM targets for which non-relativistic scattering rates are highly suppressed. This opens an unexplored region of parameter space and motivates the development of detection strategies specifically tailored to low-mass dark matter. In this talk, I will discuss examples of such models and outline novel detection strategies designed to probe them — either directly, or indirectly through the detection of light dark-sector mediators. - Thursday 21 May 2026 at 10:15 in A315 and using Zoom: Michal Heller (Ghent)

Hopefully the up to 50 min + 10 min discussion long seminar/colloquium will be understandable to a wide audience.
