The nature of Dark Matter is one of the deepest mysteries in our understanding of modern physics, which is why various experiments, ranging from gamma ray/neutrino observatories to many direct detection experiments are designed to seek direct/indirect signatures of dark matter in the Universe. However, any comparison between the findings of these experiments with theoretical models would require an understanding of the structure of CDM on very small scales, which is very hard to model using numerical or analytic techniques.  

 

This workshop aims to bring together the experts in modeling, simulations and observations of the small scale structure of dark matter, with the purpose of finding a consensus on the structure of dark matter distribution, beyond the resolution of N-body simulations, as well as the most interesting observables that we should seek to theoretically understand, in the run-up to the upcoming experiments/observations.
