Dark Matter 2016: From the smallest to the largest scales.

   
 

June 27th-July 1st 2016. Santander, Spain.

Please join us in a meeting that brings together particle physicist, astrophysicists, cosmologists and theoretician to discuss the latest developments on the quest for dark matter. The meeting will bring together experts on direct and indirect searches of dark matter and the connection between theory and experiments. Many experiments on earth, together with astrophysical observations, cover a wide range of energies yet the dark matter particle remains elusive. The meeting will review the current status in the field giving special emphasis to the latest efforts to detect the dark matter.

  The meeting includes the following topics:

  • Dark Matter candidates
  • Theory
  • Direct searches
  • Indirect searches
  • Colliders
  • Astrophysical evidences
  • Cosmological implications

  Preliminary list of invited Speakers and invited talks(*):

  • Celine Boehm, "Alternative models to DM"
  • Alberto Casas, "The 750 GeV Di-photon resonance?"
  • David García Cerdeño, "SUSY DM" 
  • Thomas Hambye, "DM indirect detection from neutrinos"
  • Juan J. Hernandez Rey, "Dark Matter searches with neutrino telescopes"
