Ever wondered how one looks for Dark Matter?
Want to meet a particle accelerator physicist?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then be sure to stop by the DPS's Undergraduate Meet
and Greet Today with Dr. Devin
Walker, a researcher at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC)!
Come chat with Dr. Walker about dark matter, particle physics, accelerators, and anything else physics!
Where: Wilder Room 9
When: TODAY, FRIDAY, 4:30 PM-5:30 PM
Also, feel free to stop by Dr. Walker's colloquium talk beforehand, "The Quest to Understand the Nature of Dark Matter."
Where: Wilder 104
When: 3:30 PM
Abstract: "I review the current status of and discuss the future prospects for accelerator, direct and indirect searches for dark matter. I describe how each search impacts our understanding of
various candidate theories as we look to the future. Finally, I briefly emphasize how new (theoretical) “self-consistency” conditions on thermal dark matter can help to exclude candidate theories as we look toward the future."
Sounds great, right? Hope to see you there!
Best,
