    "CMB Constraints DM Annihilation/Sum of the neutrino masses from CMB observations"

    Hosted by: Ketevi Assamagan

    I will present the latest constraints on the properties of annihilating dark matter and on the sum of the neutrino masses from CMB observations. I will focus on what has been learned so far from the Planck satellite and current ground-based CMB experiments. I will also discuss what we can expect in the future in terms of constraining dark matter and neutrino properties from near-future ground-based experiments, such as Advanced ACTPol, and the planned DOE CMB-S4 project.
