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.
