DARK MATTER
Presentation by: Ernesto Jiménez, Irene
Mengibar and Irene Wbanet
Introduction
• Everything we can see is made of atoms.
• Ordinary matter is just a 5% of the
universe.
• Evidence for dark matter (95%):
1.Cosmic Microwave Background.
2.The need of more matter than the visible
one to explain some gravitational effects.
Definition of dark matter
• Dark matter is a 27% of the universe.
• It is not reactant to light.
• It is important because of its gravitational
effects in the universe’s structure.
1st type: Cosmological constant
• It is spread all around the universe,
homogeneously.
• It is the simplest for of dark energy
because it is constant in space and time.
• It is the type which causes the expansion
of the universe.
2nd type: Scalar fields
• Is dynamic, so constant over space but
changes over time.
• Can change over space also but these
ones are very similar to cosmological
constant.
String Theory
1. Macroscopic level: Matter2. Molecular level3. Atomic level: Protons, neutrons, and electrons4. Subatomic level: Electron5. Subatomic level: Quarks6. String level
String Theory
• One string is the base of matter
• Each oscillation makes a sub-particle
• It makes up their properties
• It also explains particle interaction
Sub-particles
Supersymmetry
• Relates fermions with bosons
• Haven’t been observed yet.
• Suggest a
common origin
Superpartner examples:
Leptons Leptons
Squarks Quarks
Photon Photino
Neutralino ?
What is dark matter?
• Dark matter is not in the form of stars and
planets that we can see.
• It is not in the form of dark clouds of
normal matter, otherwise we could detect
the baryonic clouds which forms this
matter
• Dark matter is not antimatter, because we
can’t see the gamma rays
Composition
There are two different possibilities:
•The WIMPS (Weakly interacting Massive
Particles)
•The MACHOs (Massive Compact Halo
Objects)
WIMPs
• They are subatomic particles which are
not made up of ordinary matter.
• They include neutrinos, axions and
neutralinos
MACHOs
• They are objects ranging in size from
small stars to super massive black holes.
• They are made up of ordinary matter (like
protons, neutrons and electrons)
• They may be black holes, neutron stars or
brown dwarfs.
Pandora’s Cluster
• A complex collision of at least four galaxy
clusters
• Strange effects that have never been seen
together before
• It has apparently been produced because of this
smash-up.
• Dubbed "Pandora's Cluster" because of all of
the different structures found.
• Officially known as Abell 2744
• Located about 3.5 billion light years from Earth.
