| Abstract: | Cosmological structure formation gives rise to a distribution of dark matter that is set by the complex process of hierarchical assembly. Dark matter experiments are inextricably linked to the details of this cosmological structure formation. With experiments evolving to extreme sensitivities, it is imperative to include cosmological considerations in the interpretation of experimental data. I will discuss how experimentally-motivated theorists try to bridge the gap between fundamental cosmological ideas and dark matter detection experiments. Time permitting I will also discuss some new novel statistical techniques that can be used to disentangle the source contributions to an otherwise diffuse contaminating background. | |
