Preliminary version of material to be approved
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...

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...

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).

The International Particle Physics Outreach Group arrange Masterclasses for teachers and high school students across the world. \\
An IPPOG Masterclass is an educational resource which utilizes real data from LHC to give insight in particle physics, and hands-on experience with data analysis. \\
In 2011, the IPPOG Masterclasses underwent a substantial upgrade, and new of next year, is a...

An overview of recent activities in particle and astroparticle physics is given. Seminars, masterclasses and projects to be carried out by students both in research labs and in the schools are presented. Special emphasis is given to activities related to the LIP participation in the LHC experiments and in the Pierre Auger Observatory.

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...

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.

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...

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.

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...

Comparison of neutralino and sneutrino dark matter in a model with spontaneous CP violation

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...
