Over ten years ago, Fermi observed an excess of GeV gamma rays from the Galactic Center whose origin is still under debate. One explanation for this excess involves annihilating dark matter; another requires an unresolved population of millisecond pulsars concentrated at the Galactic Center. We use the results from LIGO/Virgo's most recent all-sky search for quasi-monochromatic, persistent...

61. As simple as possible, but not simpler

Invited plenary talks: 25'+5'

When data anomalies are observed, it is a common practice to assume some toy models, simplified models, or EFT. In particular one tends to minimize the number of new physical degrees of freedom, as well as the couplings. In this talk, I will describe a number of examples in physics of flavors and dark matter, where this simple-minded approach results in wrong or unphysical results. Based on...
