Quantum effects in dark matter physics (D04)

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.
