Although the existence of the astronomical dark matter is by now well established, its nature is still unresolved. The favoured candidate is a massive and weakly interacting neutral particle, dubbed WIMP, whose relic abundance is compatible with cosmological measurements. If present inside the haloes of galactic systems, these species still annihilate and yield distortions in the various...

We study collider phenomenology of inert triplet scalar dark matter at the LHC.
We discuss possible decay of Higgs boson to dark matter candidate and apply current experimental data for invisible Higgs decay and $R_{\gamma\gamma}$ to constrain parameter space of our model. We also investigate constraints on dark matter coming from forthcoming measurement, $R_{Z\gamma}$ and mono-Higgs...

Due to its low astrophysical background, the antideuteron channel is a highly promising channel for indirect detection of dark matter.
Being an antinucleus, the antideuteron flux has additional uncertainties from the nucleus formation model that are not relevant for other indirect detection channels.
The antideuteron formation model depends on very small momentum differences between...

In recent years, ground-based very-high energy (E>50 GeV) gamma-ray instruments like H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS have taken on a major role in high-energy astrophysics. The high sensitivity and performance parameters, still far from the limits of the observation technique though, have lead to the detection and enabled studies of more than 100 sources of various source populations. The...

The strategy for the ATLAS pMSSM summary effort, which will lead to one of the so-called legacy papers of the collaboration, is presented. A flat scan of the pMSSM parameter space is performed by Tom Rizzo, an ATLAS short term associate. Various constraints are imposed for the scan to select viable models. A broad selection of searches in ATLAS is implemented. The selected models are first...
