Direct Detection

Only 5% of our Universe consists of ordinary matter - what about the rest? Direct dark matter detection tries to answer this question by making dark matter interact with large, underground detectors.

Dark Matter studies at LHC

The ATLAS detector is used to explore dark matter interactions with the Standard Model (SM). If such interactions exist, DM particles could be produced at the LHC. However, DM particles would not interact directly with the detector, so we would have to observe them in association with visible SM particles.

Neutrino Observations and Instrument Response Function

The common task for neutrino astronomy is a source identification. The neutrino flux can be distributed from different source types (point, extended or diffuse sources). Dark matter decay or annihilation can also participate as such sources.

Indirect Detection Methods

In our Universe, all the visible things i.e. Planets, stars, asteroids, and galaxies constitute less than 5% of the total Universe. So what are the remaining parts? This is the mystery and beauty of our Universe. Around 85% of the total matter of our Universe is assumed to be dark matter and indirect detection of dark matter is one of the most popular ways to look for this mystery.
