The Mechanics and Statistics of Active Matter
Active systems contain components which are capable of taking up energy from their surroundings and turning it into motion. Examples include molecular motors plus filaments plus ATP; cell-membranes laden with pumps or actin-polymerization sites,
Possible Solution of the Dark Matter Problem
Searches for dark matter (DM) constituents are presently mainly focused on axions and WIMPs despite the fact that far higher mass constituents are viable. We discuss and dispute whether axions exist and those arguments for WIMPs which arise from
A probe into leptophilic scalar dark matter
We revisit the scalar singlet dark matter (DM) scenario with a pair of dark lepton partners which form a vector-like Dirac fermionic doublet. The extra doublet couples with the SM leptonic doublet and the scalar singlet via a non-SM-like Yukawa
Novel probes for dark matter at the LHC
Historically searches for dark matter (DM) in colliders have focussed on weakly interacting scenarios, where the experimental signature is so-called mono-X, X being a standard model (SM) particle or a jet. However, recent phenomenological work has
Deep Talks: An International Journey to Dark Matter Detection
Dark Matter Day Scientists and members of the public are invited to attend events to mark Dark Matter Day, which celebrates the work being carried out in laboratories and institutions around the world, and shares what scientists know about this

Shining a light on strongly interacting matter
The talk will outline current Edinburgh led research programmes which exploit high intensity energy-tagged gamma beams at the MAMI facility in Germany and Jefferson Lab in the USA. These experiments aim to improve our understanding of strongly
First axion results from the XENON100 experiment
Which is better: a dark matter WIMP or the Imp from GoT (Game of Thrones)? ... They could be an excellent dark matter candidate and could also solve the CPV problem.
The Higgs Portal to Dark Matter at the LHC
If dark matter has interactions beyond gravity, we hope to learn about its nature at collider experiments. Weak interactions with the Higgs boson, the Higgs portal, suggest the presence of mediator particles within the energy reach of the LHC.
Sensitive dark matter detector comes to life
The world’s largest and most sensitive dark matter experiment has come to life and is delivering results, moving a step closer to offering clues about one of the biggest mysteries of the Universe.
