Yet Another Introduction to Dark Matter: The Particle Physics Approach (Lecture Notes in Physics) by Martin Bauer (PDF)

Description

Dark matter is a frequently discussed topic in contemporary particle physics. Written strictly in the language of particle physics and quantum field theory, these course-based lecture notes focus on a set of standard calculations that students need in order to understand weakly interacting dark matter candidates. After introducing some general features of these dark matter agents and their main competitors, the Higgs portal scalar and supersymmetric neutralinos are introduced as our default models. In turn, this serves as a basis for exploring four experimental aspects: the dark matter relic density extracted from the cosmic microwave background; indirect detection including the Fermi galactic center excess; direct detection; and collider searches. Alternative approaches, like an effective theory of dark matter and simplified models, naturally follow from the discussions of these four experimental directions.

Editorial Reviews: Review “The book is clearly written and is suitable for those people (both theoreticians and experimentalists) that want to tackle the problem of dark matter. … The level required to deal with the reading of this book is that of a graduate or a PhD student.” (Daniele Montanino, zbMATH 1441.81001, 2020) From the Back Cover Dark matter is a frequently discussed topic in contemporary particle physics.
