<span style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11pt;">Microseconds after the Big Bang, the universe was filled with an extremely hot and dense state of matter called the Quark Gluon Plasma. Then the tiniest building blocks of matter, quarks and gluons, were not yet confined
inside of protons and neutrons but produced an exotic state of strongly interacting matter that behaved as a nearly perfect liquid. Over the past 15 years, collider experiments have been smashing heavy-ions together at nearly the speed of light in order to
produce a tiny droplet with a radius (~ trillionth cm) and temperature high enough (~ a few trillion Kelvin) to recreate the Quark Gluon Plasma in the laboratory.</span><span style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="margin: 0px; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">While
the the evolution of the Quark Gluon Plasma liquid is well simulated via state-of-the-art relativistic viscous hydrodynamics, many questions still remain about the initial state immediately after the collision before hydrodynamics is even applicable. In recent
years heavy-ion collisions have noted that the assumption of spherical nuclei in their ground state cannot account for experimental data, thus, initial conditions with deformed </span><span style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11pt;">nuclear</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span><span style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11pt;">structure</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> hav</span><wbr><span style="font-size: 11pt;">e

<div><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Abstract:</span><br>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">In the interpretation of direct detection experiments scales ranging from the appearance of physics beyond the Standard Model down to nuclear energy levels matter, and for each energy region the appropriate degrees of freedoms
need to be considered to extract robust constraints on the nature of dark matter. This task can be achieved by matching a tower of effective field theories that reveals how the dark matter properties are encoded in a handful of couplings accessible in experiment.
In the talk I will give an overview over this approach, concentrating on the nuclear and hadronic physics required to turn limits on the direct detection rates into constraints on the dark matter parameter space.</span></div>
