Where should we look? Search for WIMPs in the Milky Way halo Indirect detection: expect WIMPs from the halo to annihilate with each other to known particles Direct detection: expect WIMPs from the halo to interact in a detector on Earth 2014-15 Dark Matter - Dark Energy lect 45 Dark matter halo Luminous disk Solar system © ESO Weakly Interacting Massive Particles

22
SNIa as standard candles ( see lecture 1 ) Supernovae Ia are very bright - very distant SN can be observed All have roughly the same luminosity curve which allows to extract the absolute magnitude M → effective magnitudes yield luminosity distance Network of telescopes united in – Supernova Cosmology Project SCP, (Perlmutter) up to z=1.4 – have now data from 500 SN (http://supernova.lbl.gov/) – High-z SN search HZSNS (Schmidt & Riess, in 1990’s) 2014-15 Dark Matter - Dark Energy lect 422
23
Luminosity distance vs redshift - 1 SN at redshift z emits light at time t E – is observed at time t 0 Light observed today travelled during time (t 0 - t E ) distance travelled depends on history of expansion Proper distance D H from SN to Earth ( lecture 1, part 2 ) For flat universe (k=0) with negligible radiation content 2014-15 Dark Matter - Dark Energy lect 423

normalise to empty universe normalise measurements to empty universe Deceleration parameter is zero – universe is ‘coasting’ 2014-15 Dark Matter - Dark Energy lect 426

SN observations show acceleration Earlier universe : universe dominated by matter decelerates due to gravitational collapse : Recently : universe dominated by vacuum energy accelerates Acceleration = zero around z=0.5 when → Switch from deceleration (matter dominated) to acceleration (dark energy dominated) 2014-15 Dark Matter - Dark Energy lect 430

THE NATURE OF DARK ENERGY Related to cosmological constant ? problems 2014-15 Dark Matter - Dark Energy lect 432
33
Dark vacuum Energy Observed present-day acceleration means that something = Dark Energy generates a negative pressure Yields gravitational repulsion like vacuum energy Equation of state ( see lecture 1 ) Fits to SNIa data yield that w is compatible with vacuum energy 2014-15 Dark Matter - Dark Energy lect 433
34
Related to cosmological constant Λ? In ΛCDM – Ω Λ is constant and related to Einsteins cosmological constant If Universe contains constant vacuum energy density related to Λ then we set A natural value would be the energy density at the Planck energy scale - energy and length scales And expected energy density Quantum field theory yields same value 2014-15 Dark Matter - Dark Energy lect 434
35
Cosmological constant problem Today vacuum energy density is of order of critical density Discrepancy of 100 orders of magnitude !!! Did vacuum energy evolve with time? There is no explanation yet need high statistics data : – Dark Energy Survey – start 2011 ( http://www.darkenergysurvey.org /) http://www.darkenergysurvey.org / – WFIRST mission of NASA – launch 2020 ( http://wfirst.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ) http://wfirst.gsfc.nasa.gov/ – ESA EUCLID mission – launch 2015-20 ( http://www.esa.int ) http://www.esa.int 2014-15 Dark Matter - Dark Energy lect 435
36
2014-15 Dark Matter - Dark Energy lect 436 © J. Frieman Is w DE constant with time?
37
Alternatives Quintessence – 5th force : new type of scalar field Mechanism analogue to inflation in early universe Vacuum energy density would vary with time Maybe general relativity works differently at short distances 2014-15 Dark Matter - Dark Energy lect 437
38
Summary Observations of SNIa emission show that the universe presently accelerates This can be explained by a constant dark vacuum energy contribution which dominates today In the Λ CDM model the dark energy is related to the cosmological constant introduced by Einstein There is yet no satisfactory explanation for the observed magnitude of the dark energy 2014-15 Dark Matter - Dark Energy lect 438
