Deciphering the Archaeological Record: Reconstructing the Primordial Dark-Matter Velocity Distribution - Lecture

Explore a 21-minute conference talk by Brooks Thomas from Lafayette College, presented at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics' "Cosmic Signals of Dark Matter Physics: New Synergies" conference. Delve into the reconstruction of the primordial dark-matter velocity distribution through its cosmological imprints. Gain insights into the latest developments in dark matter research, including theoretical advancements, cosmological simulations, and observational capabilities in the era of large surveys. Discover how this talk contributes to the conference's goals of synthesizing efforts to extract dark matter physics from cosmic observables and identifying new synergies between particle and cosmology theorists, simulators, and astronomers.
