TITLE: Physic seminar: A south Hemisphere prospective on Dark Matter
SPEAKER: Elisabetta Barberio  (Univ. of Melbourne)
LANGUAGE: English

ABSTRACT: The quest to identify dark matter requires new and innovative approaches, combining techniques and data from a range of instruments. In the Southern Hemisphere, we have a crucial advantage in
the search for
dark matter via direct detection, which will allow us to independently
test the most persistent and enigmatic signal in the worldwide dark matter detection effort. I will discuss a new underground laboratory, which will host
a new dark matter direct detection experiment, which will be taking place
in Australia in the next five years. This experiment will be able to measure
or exclude the Dama modulation signal.
