Summary of past week • Evidence and properties of DM (What is DM?)
• Production mechanisms, classes of models
• How to recognize SUSY / new-physics in colliders
• The distribution of DM in space (on big scales)
• Halo formation and distribution theory

But colliders not enough for DM

Structure of this week • Concentrate on some more specific models (WIMPs)
• Reconstruction of different properties (through different methods: indirect, direct)
• Need for astrophysics, and some nuclear physics
• Introduce the basics of some of the above (lensing, CRs)
• Describe our theoretical (from Simulations) expectations and observational evidence for DM distribution

Purpose of this lecture
• Make you familiar with jargon, results, and problems of a specific field:
numerical simulations.
• Stimulate you to a critical thinking: tool to interpret them
(do NOT repeat mantras).

Let’s have a look at it
• Aquarius: evolution movie (MW size HIres)
• Via Lactea: evolution movie (MW halo, HIres)
• Millennium : flythrough at z=0
• MillenniumII : flythrough at z=0

“Observables” from sims
• # of halos (per mass, per redhisft)
• Matter distribution on different scales
• …
• Any other idea, anybody?

NFW profile seems “universal”, but…

Caveats
• Where are the flaws in what I mentioed so far?
• Speak up, please.
