Introduction of Dark matter studies

Dark matter, the enigmatic substance that constitutes approximately 27% of the universe, continues to be one of the most compelling mysteries in the realm of astrophysics and cosmology.

Direct Detection Experiments:

Exploring innovative detection methods and sophisticated instruments designed to directly capture elusive dark matter particles, aiming to provide experimental evidence for their existence and properties.

Cosmological Simulations:

Utilizing powerful supercomputers to simulate the large-scale structure of the universe, incorporating dark matter dynamics, to understand its role in shaping cosmic web formations and galaxy clusters.

Gravitational Lensing Studies:

Investigating the gravitational lensing effects caused by dark matter, where its mass distorts the path of light, enabling scientists to map the distribution of dark matter in galaxy clusters and constrain its properties.

Particle Physics Experiments:

Delving into high-energy particle physics experiments, such as those conducted at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), to identify potential particles associated with dark matter and explore their interactions with other fundamental particles.

Modified Gravity Theories:

Exploring alternative theories of gravity, like Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) and Modified Gravity (MOG), as alternatives to the existence of dark matter, aiming to reconcile observed gravitational phenomena without the need for unseen particles.
