Case Astronomy co-hosts International Dark Matter Workshop

Posted 15-Mar-2009

This Spring, Case Astronomy teamed up with CERCA and the Department of Physics to host an international workshop on "Dark Matter in the Milky Way." The workshop focused on the dark matter problem locally -- its spatial and kinematic distribution in the Milky Way, and observational and experimental efforts (current and future) to detect it. We assembled a small group of observers, theorists, and experimentalists to meet and discuss the outstanding problems in the field.

The workshop was the subject of an article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and the workshop program is available online, along with links to many of the presentations.
