I’ll discuss how, in particle physics models featuring a hidden sector analogue of the photon, such interactions could be important at extremely small couplings — more than ten orders of magnitude smaller than usually supposed! This is because, for a long-range force mediator, coherent interactions between many dark matter particle are enhanced relative to standard two-to-two scattering, similarly to how electromagnetic plasma effects can be much more important than Coulomb collisions. These results are relevant for models of kinetically mixed “dark photon” mediators, which represent an important target for proposed dark matter detection experiments. | 15 Jeremy Tinker, The Connection Between Galaxies and Dark Matter: The Swiss Army Knife of Astronomical Tools (4:00 PM - 5:00 PM) + Abstract | 16 |
