Testing Dark Matter Theories with Cosmological-Baryonic Zoom Simulations

Explore cutting-edge research on testing dark matter theories through cosmological-baryonic zoom simulations in this 22-minute conference talk by Robyn Sanderson from the University of Pennsylvania. Delivered as part of the "Cosmic Signals of Dark Matter Physics: New Synergies" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, delve into the latest developments in theory, cosmological simulations, and observational capabilities in the era of large surveys. Gain insights into the vast landscape of dark matter discovery, including models that can only be tested by astrophysical and cosmological probes. Understand how observables spanning various cosmic epochs and length-scales independently testify to the existence of dark matter, and learn about the ongoing efforts to extract dark matter physics from cosmic observables. Discover the synergies between particle and cosmology theorists, simulators, and astronomers working towards constraining the elusive nature of dark matter.
