Abstract:
More than 90% of the energy density of the Universe is made up of Dark Energy and Dark Matter, the investigations of which are at the frontiers of basic science research. We will present an overview of the evidence of the Dark Matter Problem and survey the theoretical models and experimental studies. In particular, we will discuss the dark matter search program at the new China Jinping Underground Laboratory (CJPL) in Sichuan.
Coffee and tea will be served 20 minutes prior to the seminar.
