Detecting hidden activity: from dark matter to the onset of strokes
Priscilla Pani (DESY)
Zoom, 13:00
This colloquium will be divided into two sections. In the first part I will provide an overview of the vast and diversified LHC experimental programme, designed in collaboration with the theoretical community, which aims to discover and precisely measure dark matter. I will outline both the fundamental assumptions and the experimental challenges of this effort and I will briefly detail one specific aspect of these searches, which focus on the particularly interesting possibility that the interaction between ordinary matter and Dark Matter is mediated by new scalar particles that extend the Higgs sector and couples dominantly with top quarks. In the second part I will introduce the idea of a new instrument, KRANOS, that exploits gamma-detection technology in order to achieve a cost-effective and fast measurement of the distribution of potassium in the brain. This instrument has the potential to provide a new methodology for early stroke detection.
