The unknown nature of the dark matter that fills our galaxy is one of the biggest problems in physics today. This project aims to connect the particle and astrophysics of dark matter so as to accelerate us towards its first detection in the lab. The expected outcomes are 1) new experimental concepts to test the widening landscape of viable theories and 2) robust predictions for signals in those experiments backed up by the latest surveys of our Milky Way. These outcomes should benefit experiments across the world on the quest to fill a major gap in our understanding of the Universe. The grand scope of this research aims to place Australia in the vanguard of one of the most active pursuits of new physics in the modern era.

充满我们银河系的暗物质的未知性质是当今物理学中最大的问题之一。该项目旨在将暗物质的粒子和天体物理学联系起来，以加速我们在实验室中首次发现暗物质。预期的结果是：1）新的实验概念，以测试可行理论的不断扩大的前景; 2）对这些实验中的信号进行强有力的预测，这些实验得到了我们银河系最新调查的支持。这些结果应该有利于世界各地的实验，以填补我们对宇宙理解的重大空白。这项研究的大范围旨在将澳大利亚置于现代最积极追求新物理学的先锋之一。
