50. Baryonic Dark Matter at the LHC

Dark Matter

Talk

I present an extension of the Standard Model where baryon number is a local gauge symmetry that is spontaneously broken. In such a setup, anomaly cancellation requires the introduction of new fermion fields, the lightest of which is an attractive dark matter candidate. Dark matter stability is an automatic consequence of the gauge symmetry, and proton decay never occurs even if baryon number...

Dark Matter

Talk

Signatures of large missing transverse momentum recoiling against jets at the LHC provide powerful probe to strongly produced dark matter (DM), complementary to direct and indirect DM detection experiments. This talk presents recent results on dark matter searches with the ATLAS detector in LHC Run 2, focusing on signatures with jets, photons or hadronically decaying bosons.

40. Dark matter searches with CMS

Dark Matter

Talk

The existence of dark matter, indicated by astronomical observations, is one of the main proofs of physics beyond the standard model. Despite its abundance, dark matter has not been directly observed yet. This talk presents several searches for dark matter production in proton-proton collisions at 7, 8, and 13 TeV at the LHC, performed by the CMS collaboration. They are interpreted in terms of...

61. GeV-ish Dark Matter in the Sun

Giorgio Busoni

Talk

The Sun may act as a gravitational well and capture Dark Matter at a constant rate: DM would therefore accrete inside the Sun. In absence of Annihilation (for example, for Asymmetric Dark Matter) the total number of captured DM particles at $t=t_{sun}$ may have stabilised to a constant number only if capture goes in equilibrium with evaporation, for DM masses below 5-10 GeV, while for higher...
