Speaker:   David McKeen (U Washington)

Title:     Dark matter coupling with a sterile neutrino inhibits the birth of small scale structure: implications and tests

Abstract: Recent comparison between observation and expectation could point to problems with the standard cold, non-interacting dark matter picture, one of which being how small the smallest gravitationally bound dark matter halos are. I will review the cold dark matter picture and the experimental tests. One solution to the problems comes from coupling the dark matter to neutrinos. I will describe the model building requirements of such a coupling and determine how to test this scenario.
