CCAPP Seminar: "Hidden Sectors and Dark Forces" Jesse Thaler (MIT)

With the overwhelming gravitational evidence for dark matter, the hunt is on for nongravitational interactions of dark matter with the standard model. In this talk, I consider the possibility that dark matter is part of a larger hidden sector, which interacts feebly with the standard model via dark forces. The hidden sector paradigm introduces a wealth of new search strategies, and I discuss the discovery prospects for dark forces at experiments ranging from Super-K to LHCb.
