Constraining the fundamental properties of the dark matter particle

尽管在自然界中有大量证据证明暗物质的存在，但从粒子物理学的角度来看，人们对它的性质知之甚少，例如它的质量，它的寿命或它的相互作用。我们计划利用目前丰富的实验数据，以及未来几年辉煌的实验前景，以确定对暗物质粒子性质的最佳约束，并确定未来发现的最佳策略。在第一阶段，我们计划集中于间接暗物质搜索与不同的信使（伽马射线，电子，正电子，反质子或中微子）在不同的目标和不同的能量，受益于主要研究者在过去几年中获得的经验，在这种检测技术。在第二阶段，我们计划进行更雄心勃勃的分析，我们将探索间接检测，直接检测和对撞机搜索之间的协同作用。

Despite the overwhelming evidences for the existence of dark matter in Nature, very little is known about its properties from the Particle Physics point of view, such as its mass, its lifetime or its interactions. We plan to exploit the present wealth of experimental data, as well as the brilliant experimental prospects for the next years, to determine the best constraints on the properties of the dark matter particle and to determine the best strategy for discovery in the future. In a first stage, we plan to concentrate on indirect dark matter searches with different messengers (gamma-rays, electrons, positrons, antiprotons or neutrinos) on different targets and different energies, to benefit from the experience that the principal investigator has gained in the last years in this detection technique. In a second stage, we plan to undertake a more ambitious analysis where we will explore the synergy between indirect detection, direct detection and collider searches.
