SYDM 1: Symposium Dark Matter

SYDM 1.3: Invited Talk

A search for the invisible: Dark Matter and LHC — •Monica Dunford — Kirchhoff-Institute for Physics, Heidelberg University

The nature of dark matter is one of the biggest open questions in both cosmology and particle physics today. If dark matter is a weakly interacting massive particle, as favored in many cosmology and particle physics theories, it can be produced and studied at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. This proton-proton machine is now operating at its near-design luminosity of 13 TeV. During 2016, the data-taking run was wildly successful, producing eight times more data compared to the previous year. This talk will discuss the latest dark matter searches at the LHC using this large data sample and will specifically focus on several new and novel techniques aimed at improving the sensitivity to dark matter candidates over the full GeV to TeV mass spectra.
