SUMMARY:Phase-space Structure of the Milky Way's Dark Halo\, Theory/Ph
 enomenology Seminar\, Leanne Duffy\, Los Alamos National Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:
\nThe evolution of cold dark matter in phase-spa
 ce inevitably leads to high
\ndensity regions in physical space\, know
 n as caustics.  The significance of
\nthese high density structures is
  a current topic of debate.  One
\ninteresting possibility is presente
 d by the caustic ring model\, which
\ndescribes the accretion of dark 
 matter onto galactic halos.  I explain the
\nformation of dark matter 
 caustics\, present an overview of the caustic ring
\nmodel and predict
 ions of the model for the Milky Way halo.  The resulting
\ndark matter
  flows and overdensities may have important consequences for
\nboth di
 rect and indirect dark matter detection experiments.
