The Quest For the Nature of Dark Matter

Mike Kuhlen (UC Berkeley) - Sept 14, 2009 at 12:10 pm

Despite having observational evidence of its existence for more than seventy years now, we still don't know the nature of Dark Matter. Recent progress in astronomical observations, laboratory experiments, theory, and numerical simulations has led to an explosion in research on this topic. Here I review some of the recent developments, with an emphasis on how ultra-high resolution cosmological numerical simulations can contribute to the quest to unravel the mystery of Dark Matter.

The seminar will be held in 544 Campbell Hall.
