PLACE R203, 2F, NCTS, NCKU

FIELD Particle

SPEAKER Dr. Chung-Lin Shan(單中林) - Department of Physics & Astronomy, Seoul National University

TITLE Introduction to Direct Dark Matter Detection (II)

ABSTRACT The aim of this talk is giving the audience an overall picture of the direct Dark Matter detection experiment. I will briefly review the evidence and candidates for Dark Matter. Then I will give an overview of the direct detection and discuss the parameters on which the detection event rate depends: the velocity distribution of halo WIMPs, the WIMP–nucleus interactions, as well as the detector materials. Some detection techniques and currently running and projected experiments will also be described.
