Dark Matter Searches at the LHC
After the discovery of a Higgs particle at the Large Hadron Collider, a next challenge will be the hunt for Dark Matter. There is convincing evidence that baryonic matter is only a small fraction of the matter in the Universe, and about five times less than the amount of so called Dark Matter. The most popular assumption for the nature of Dark Matter is that of a weakly interaction massive particle (WIMP). Here we will review the opportunities for the hunt for Dark Matter Wimps at the LHC with the ATLAS and CMS experiments. Signatures that have been used to search for Dark Matter include: the search for supersymmetry; the search for mono jets, mono-photons and other mono-objects; and the study of possible invisible decays of the Higgs particle. An overview will be given of the recent experimental results
and their interpretation, and outlook will be given for the upcoming 14 TeV run at the LHC .

Title: New Theoretical Ideas in Dark Matter
Host: Luty
Room: 416
Abstract: Motivated by the recent observation of the high energy electron and positron excesses in cosmic ray by PAMELA and ATIC/PPB-BETS, we suggest an anomaly-free scenario for the universal extra dimension that localizes the SM quarks and splits the spectrum of KK quarks from KK leptons. When the SM quarks are "well localized" at the boundaries, the most stringent bound of the model ($1/R > 510$ GeV) comes from the resonance search for the Tevatron dijet channels. Even at the early stage of LHC, one can discover the second KK gluon for masses up to 4 TeV.
