Description
The nature of dark matter is one of the biggest open questions in both cosmology and particle physics today. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which is now operating at its near-design luminosity of 13 TeV, has the potential to produce dark matter directly. During 2016, the data-taking run was wildly successful, producing eight times more data compared to the previous year; however no hint of dark matter has been seen. This talk will touch upon the latest in dark matter searches but focus on two new approaches aimed at improving the sensitivity to dark matter candidates over the full GeV to TeV mass spectra.
