Abstract:

I will go over the basics of inelastic dark matter models and their detection at high recoil energies in nuclear recoil dark matter searches (). Inelastic dark matter has recently drawn interest, since the LZ experiment reported detecting a single nuclear recoil event with an energy of around 248 keV

 

 

Timbits, coffee, tea will be served in STI A before the colloquium.
