Physics Beyond the Standard Model
Dark matter and its possible connection with neutrino physics
Description
The existence of non-baryonic Dark Matter (DM) is well established by cosmological and astrophysical probes, however its detailed nature still remains elusive. Among the extensions of the Standard Model explaining the DM relic abundance, the simplest one is the addition of an inert scalar to the theory. In this talk I intend to give a brief review of some DM models and the possible connection with neutrino physics. I will in particular outline the discrete dark matter mechanism, which consists in extending the SM with a non-Abelian flavor symmetry.
