Future of collider searches for Dark Matter at the LPC

27 Jul 2017, 08:30 → 28 Jul 2017, 17:00 America/Chicago

WH8XO (Hornet's Nest)

Bjoern Penning (University of Bristol (GB)), Bo Jayatilaka (Fermi National Accelerator Lab. (US)), Matteo Cremonesi (Fermi National Accelerator Lab. (US))

The aim of this workshop is to discuss strategies for dark matter searches at the LHC in the high-luminosity era. We will discuss potential developments in the areas of analysis techniques, future detector upgrades, and phenomenology and how each of these areas can impact the discovery potential for dark matter at collider experiments.
