Abstract: Null results from collider and direct detection searches constrain dark matter candidates. We analyze these constraints in the context of minimal extensions to the Standard Model (SM). These models contain a singlet dark matter particle with cubic couplings between SM particles and `partner' particles with the same gauge quantum numbers as the SM particle. We find that collider and direct detection searches are remarkably complementary for these models.
