APEC Seminar (Astronomy - Particle Physics - Experimental Physics - Cosmology)

Speaker: Jeremy Sakstein (The University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa)
Title: Stellar Tests of the Dark Sector
Date (JST): Wed, Jan 07, 2026, 13:30 - 15:00
Place: Seminar Room A
Abstract:
Stars provide hot plasmas that are sensitive to new interactions beyond the Standard Model. In this talk, I’ll present recent work using stars across a wide range of masses and evolutionary stages to constrain dark sector physics, with particular emphasis on millicharged particles and WIMPs.
