Presentation of the programme

The goal of the program is to foster discussions and collaborations among researchers that have different areas of expertise relevant for the key open issues in the fields of neutrinos and dark matter, and to train PhD students, postdocs and young researchers that might not be in both fields yet. The IHP program will offer a positive and stimulating environment to host discussions and brainstormings around debated open issues at the frontier between dark matter and neutrinos, at a moment where related experimental progress will attract unique international attention to these fields.

The program comprises one week school and two weeks' workshop.

Topical school: from May 5 to 9, IHP, Perrin building

Lectures and Lecturers:

• ”Solar neutrinos: a path to discovery” - Arthur McDonald (Queen’s University)
• “Dark matter in astrophysical bodies” - Joseph Bramante (Queen’s U. & Perimeter Institute)
• “Dark matter” - Jiji Fan (Brown U.)
• “Neutrinos Physics” - Silvia Pascoli (Bologna U. and INFN, CERN)
• “Neutrino astrophysics" - Georg Raffelt (MPI Münich)

Topical workshop: from May 12 to 23, IHP, Perrin building

Topics include:

• Dark matter candidates and phenomenology

• Neutrinos from DM in compact bodies

• Stellar cooling and stellar capture of DM

• Neutrinos from DM annihilations and decays

• Neutrino telescopes as DM detectors

• Sterile neutrinos

• The “neutrino floor”

• Neutrinos and cosmology

• The diffuse supernova neutrino background

• Neutrino astrophysics and new connections
