Upcoming Seminars
Dark radiation and sterile neutrinos
University of Aarhus, Denmark
18th May 2012
Abstract: Recent cosmological data hint at the possible presence of an excess
energy density in relativistic particles, dubbed "dark radiation".
After reviewing the impact of dark radiation on cosmological
observables, I will present the current observational status and give
an outlook on upcoming observations.
Finally, I will indulge in some speculation on the identity of the
dark radiation and discuss whether it could be composed of light
sterile neutrinos, which have been suggested as a resolution to the
LSND/MiniBoone/reactor anomalies.

Closing in on Asymmetric Dark Matter
Oxford, UK
21st May 2012
Abstract: I will first provide an overview of the Asymmetric Dark Matter (ADM)
framework. Following this I shall argue that experimental constraints
strongly suggest that in models of ADM the dark matter
must be part of a richer hidden sector of interacting states. This
talk is based mainly on arXiv:1203.4854.
