Crc In Astrophysical Data Analysis And Machine Learning

暗物质的本质仍然是宇宙学中最重要的悬而未决的问题之一，它有可能揭示粒子物理学标准模型之外的基本物理学，从而使我们对自然世界的理解发生巨大飞跃。在尚不为人所知的次星系尺度上测量暗物质的聚集是揭示其粒子特性的最有希望的研究前沿。这个加拿大研究主席的目标是利用强引力透镜来测量暗物质粒子的温度，量化遥远星系中暗物质亚晕的丰度。

The nature of dark matter remains one of the most important outstanding questions in cosmology, with the potential to reveal fundamental physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, resulting in giant leaps in our understanding of the natural world. Measuring the clustering of dark matter on the poorly-understood sub-galactic scales is the most promising frontier of research to reveal its particle properties. The goal of this Canada Research Chair is to quantify the abundance of dark matter subhalos in distant galaxies using strong gravitational lensing to measure the temperature of the dark matter particle.
