Searching for Dark Matter with LHAASO
Date: Tuesday, June 16th
Time: 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm
Place: WIPAC
Speaker: Kenny Ng, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
Abstract: I will discuss the dark matter research program of the Large High Altitude Air Shower Array (LHAASO). Located at 4410 m above sea level, LHAASO comprises three complementary detectors—KM2A, WCDA, and WFCTA—making it the most sensitive very-high-energy gamma-ray survey instrument currently operating. This unique capability establishes LHAASO as an excellent tool for indirect dark matter detection through searches for gamma-ray signatures of decay or annihilation. I will present recent constraints derived from observations of the Galactic halo and dwarf spheroidal galaxies, and report on progress toward a combined, full-sky dark matter analysis using both WCDA and KM2A.
