Scientific paper

The evolution of cold dark matter in phase-space inevitably leads to high density regions in physical space, known as caustics. The significance of these high density structures is a current topic of debate. One interesting possibility is presented by the caustic ring model, which describes the accretion of dark matter onto galactic halos. I explain the formation of dark matter caustics, present an overview of the caustic ring model and predictions of the model for the Milky Way halo. The resulting dark matter flows and overdensities may have important consequences for both direct and indirect dark matter detection experiments.
