| Description | LHC Lunch Speaker: Davide Racco (U. of Geneva) Title: Theoretical frameworks for dark matter searches Host: Ennio Salvioni Room: 432 Abstract: Given the plethora of complete models containing a viable dark matter candidate, a general and model-independent approach for the parametrization of dark matter interactions appears mandatory. Two possibilities have been devised: either the effective field theories (EFT), or, in light of the limited regime of validity of the formers, the simplified models, containing the minimal ingredients for the description of dark matter and its interactions. In the talk I will review advantages and limitations of the two approaches with respect to various experimental searches, with a particular emphasis on collider searches, for which a consistent method for the use of EFT is proposed. |
