  1. 99. Dark Matter: present and future of direct and indirect searches
    Dr Sofia Vallecorsa (Israel Institute of Technology (IL))
    17/12/2012, 09:10
    Preliminary version of material to be approved
    Non accelerator searches for DM
    Different techniques are being used to characterize the nature of Dark Matter, and to test whether its properties can explain the astronomers' puzzling observations: from underground detector to telescopes and satellites observing debris produced by Dark Matter annihilation in the Universe. I will give a review of direct and indirect searches, focusing on some of the latest results and...

    Indirect searches of DM in gamma gamma detection
    Dark Matter in form of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles can annihilate and produce high energy (E>100MeV) gamma rays. Not deflected by magnetic field, they can be used to probe for the existence of DM in different location, e.g. at the Galactic centre or in dwarf spheroidal galaxies. Pair conversion space-based telescopes like Fermi-LAT, and an array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov...

    Dark Matter and Supersymmetry, LHC
    An overview of the current ATLAS SUSY search strategy and results is given. This includes published analyses using up to ~13 fb-1 from the 8 TeV data set ("HCP status"). In the interpretation some emphasis is set on models providing dark matter candidates (~ 40+10 min).

  10. 108. Monojets and Monophotons at ATLAS
    Jalal Abdallah (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (ES))
    18/12/2012, 10:30
    Studies of events with single high energy jet or photon and large missing transverse momentum at the Large Hadron Collider is one of the most direct way to search for physics beyond the Standard Model. The backgrounds from Standard Model processes are dominated by jets/photons production associated with Z or W bosons that undergo leptonic decays to neutrinos and/or unidentified electrons or...

  11. 88. Constraining mSUGRA with Dark Matter searches and the LHC
    Knut Dundas Mora (University of Bergen (NO))

    Preliminary version of material to be approved
    talk
    Dark Matter and Supersymmetry, LHC
    The LHC is steadily setting new limits on the supersymmetric, and particularly the mSUGRA parameter space. This talk will concern the intersection of astrophysical searches for dark matter and LHC searches, and the prospect of an ATLAS analysis of a plane of the parameter space.

    talk
    Dark Matter and Supersymmetry, LHC
    Supersymmetry (SUSY) is a theoretically attractive model of particle physics which solves many of the theoretical problems of the Standard Model. An important one of these, dark matter, is solved in SUSY by the production of new stable, weakly interacting particles. With the unprecedented energy and luminosity of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) large regions of the SUSY parameter space may be...

  13. 102. Search for viable SUSY Models Discoverable at LHC
    Jan Oye Lindroos (University of Bergen (NO))
    18/12/2012, 15:45
    We present a framework for finding interesting regions of Supersymmetric parameter space, in light of experimental constraints and the possibility of detection at LHC using specific experimental signatures. The framework has been applied to find viable CMSSM models with $\tau$-lepton signatures observable with the 2012 LHC data.

    Getting most out of the Higgs measurements
    With a mass around 125 GeV, a handful of events are already expected to be present in the current ATLAS analysis searching for the SM higgs in the tau+tau-. Unfortunately, this channel has low mass resolution and high backgrounds, notably from Z decays, so it is difficult to establish a significant signal. In addition to reviewing the latest ATLAS results, this talk also presents some ideas...

  18. 87. If the neutralino is not dark matter, can it be heavier than the chargino?

    talk
    Dark Matter and SUSY, models
    If R-parity is violated, we no longer expect the neutralino to be dark matter. Then one might ask, is it possible for the chargino to be lighter than the neutralino in such scenarios? That would indeed lead to spectacular signals at the LHC, like chargino decays to three charged leptons. This possibility was studied using bayesian scanning in the form of SuperBAYES. Using Non-universal...
