[Triumf-darkmatter] lunch with Katie Mack on Thursday, 12-1pm

[David Morrissey]

Hi Everyone,

Katie Mack (NC State U, @astrokatie) will be 
giving the lab colloquium on Thursday at 2pm:

Dark Matter: A Cosmological Perspective

While it is considered to be one of the most 
promising hints of new physics beyond the Standard 
Model, dark matter is as-yet known only through 
its gravitational influence on astronomical and 
cosmological observables. I will discuss our 
current best evidence for dark matter's existence 
as well as the constraints that astrophysical 
probes can place on its properties, while 
highlighting some tantalizing anomalies that could 
indicate non-gravitational dark matter 
interactions. Future observations, along with 
synergies between astrophysical and experimental 
searches, have the potential to illuminate dark 
matter's fundamental nature and its influence on 
the evolution of matter in the cosmos from the 
first stars and galaxies to today.


As part of the visit, we will have a (BYOL) group 
lunch with Katie on Thursday, 12-1pm, in the MOB 
conference room.  Everybody is welcome to join us.

Cheers,

David
