Quantum effects in dark matter physics (D04)

• Subject Area: Nuclear and Elementary Particle Physics, Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, Fields ; Astrophysics and Astronomy
• Term: since 2017
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 283604770

The project will address dark matter scenarios of common interest, for which quantum and thermal effects are important, through methods more familiar from collider physics (non-relativistic and soft-collinear effective field theory, renormalization-group evolution, factorization and resummation techniques) and further develop them for dark matter applications by combining effective field theory and dark matter phenomenology.
