[W155] Rebecca Leane: Detecting a Dark Matter Population Inside the Earth
Channel: lawphysics
Date: 15/11/2023

Webinar 155

Speaker: Rebecca Leane, SLAC, USA
Host: Walter Tangarife (Loyola Chicago)

Dark matter can be captured in stars and planets after scattering and losing sufficient energy to become gravitationally bound. I will discuss a framework to describe what happens when dark matter is captured by these objects, and demonstrate the resulting dark matter distributions. I will discuss the implications of these new distributions for existing searches for dark matter in celestial objects, highlighting a new detection strategy using quantum devices on Earth.
