Title: Signatures of top-flavoured dark matter
Abstract
-----------
In this talk I will introduce the concept of flavoured dark matter, focussing on models beyond the Minimal Flavour Violation hypothesis, in which dark matter couples predominantly to the top quark. I will review the constraints from flavour physics, thermal freeze-out and direct detection experiments. Then I will discuss its LHC signatures, including both existing constraints from SUSY searches and new signatures with a single top quark in the final state. Last but not least I will point out someimportant phenomenological differences between top-flavoured Dirac and Majorana dark matter.
