On self-interacting dark matter: Current status and perspectives
Kai Schmidt-Hoberg (DESY Hamburg)


In this talk I will discuss the current status of self-interacting dark matter and what could be learned from a potential discovery. I will in particular focus on implications of a velocity dependent self-interaction cross section and discuss models featuring a light mediating particle.
