DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/CMU-TP/46/">
 Small-Scale Structure in Vector Dark Matter</a>\nby Mustafa Amin (Rice Uni
 versity) as part of Carnegie Mellon theoretical physics\n\n\nAbstract\nCan
  we figure out the spin of dark matter from astrophysical observations?  I
  will talk about new phenomenology of (ultra)light vector dark matter incl
 uding (i) a new class of polarized vector solitons (ii)  interference patt
 erns in density (iii) intrinsic spin.  I will provide results for nonlinea
 r structure formation in vector dark matter where this phenomenology is na
 turally present. These effects  lead to signals in astrophysics and direct
  detection that can potentially distinguish vector dark matter from their 
 scalar counterpart. Time permitting\, I will discuss the generalization of
  above phenomenology to higher spin bosonic fields.\n
