10 Who Wanted Dark Matter? DM 19 I did [ While examining the Coma Galaxy Cluster (large cluster of galaxies - over 1,000 identified galaxies; mean distance from Earth is 99 Mpc or 31 million ly) in 1933, Zwicky was the first to use the Virial Theorem to infer the existence of unseen matter, what is now called Dark Matter. He was able to infer the average mass of galaxies within the cluster, and obtained a value about 160 times greater than expected from their luminosity, and proposed that most of the matter was dark. The same calculation today shows a smaller factor, based on greater values for the mass of luminous material; but it is still clear that the great majority of matter is dark. 0

11 Dark Matter in Spiral Galaxy Astrophysical Journal 159 (1970) 377 Rotation curve of a typical spiral galaxy: predicted (A) and observed (B). The discrepancy between the curves is attributed to dark matter. 1 Evidence for Dark Matter

12 More Evidence for Dark Matter 3 Dark Matter in the Universe Ordinary Matter (NASA s Chandra X Observatory) Splitting ordinary matter and dark matter Another Clear Evidence of Dark Matter (8/1/06) time Dark Matter (Gravitational Lensing) February 9, 008 Approximately the same size as the Milky Way Dark Particle Hunters 4

13 4 Properties of Cold Dark Matter It Doesn t Matter. Right, it doesn t shake hand with anyone easily. Two dark matter clusters (in blue) are just passing each other. It is a long-lived (stable) object. It s a Cold Matter. Yes, it is a relativistically slowly moving ( cold ) object. It s an Invisible Matter. Right, it doesn t respond to your flash light. This means it is a neutral object. So, It s a Cold Dark Matter (CDM). Can it be one of the known particles? Let s check out! 5 Quiz [Q] Can be the dark matter a Standard Model particle? [Recap: Dark matter particles] (1) Weakly interacting () Neutral (3) Heavy relativistically slowly moving [A] Quarks, electron, muon, and tau cannot be dark matter, because they are interacting via strong and/or electromagnetic forces. Neutrinos are too light. [Q] What should we do? [A] Expand the Standard Model framework based on a new symmetry, e.g., Supersymmetry or SUSY (next page) New particles, including a dark matter candidate 6

14 Spin (& charge) is a fundamental property and a powerful tool in information technology. See Lecture 1 by Prof. Sinova on Jan. 8. Supersymmetry (SUSY) Fermions Bosons A set of new particles, including a dark matter candidate 7 Interconnection 8

18 Possible Dark Matter Interactions 35 Hot Topic (Oct 9, 01) Today's High Energy Theory seminar will be given by Haibo Yu visiting from Michigan: Exploring Dark Matter From Colliders to the Cosmos Astrophysical and cosmological observations provide compelling evidence for the existence of dark matter in the Universe, but its particle physics nature remains mysterious. The weakly-interacting massive particle (WIMP) has been proposed as a dark matter candidate. In this talk, I will first show that particle colliders including the Tevatron and the LHC are powerful tools to hunt for WIMP dark matter. I will also discuss dark matter models beyond the WIMP paradigm and search strategies for them. Astrophysical objects such as neutron stars and dwarf galaxies provide natural laboratories for exploring dark matter beyond the WIMP. Date/time: October 9, pm. Room: MIST M10. 36
