Dr David Salek (GRAPPA)30/11/2015, 14:30The LHC results on dark matter from Run-1 were mostly interpreted in the framework of effective filed theories. Simplified models involve new mediators between the Standard Model and the Dark Sector and allow for richer phenomenology and more complex interpretations. Complementarity of the collider, direct and indirect dark matter searches will be discussed and possible search strategies at...Go to contribution page

Prof. Wolfgang Rau (Queen’s University, Kingston)30/11/2015, 15:15SuperCDMS employs cryogenic germanium detectors to search for interactions of Weakly Interacting Massive dark matter Particles (WIMPs) with ordinary matter. In standard operating mode phonon and ionization signals are measured for each event for an effective discrimination between background electron recoils and dark matter candidate nuclear recoil events down to a few keV, giving sensitivity...Go to contribution page
