Dark Matter Searches at Accelerator Facilities
Bhaskar Dutta
TL;DR
This review discusses various strategies employed at accelerator facilities, particularly the LHC, to search for dark matter particles, which constitute a significant portion of the universe's matter but remain unidentified.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive summary of current search strategies for dark matter particles at accelerators, highlighting recent developments and ongoing efforts.
Findings
Multiple search strategies are being employed at the LHC.
No definitive dark matter particle has been discovered yet.
Ongoing experiments continue to refine search techniques.
Abstract
About 80 percent of the matter content of the universe is dark matter. However, the particle origin of dark matter is yet to be established. Many extensions of the Standard Model (SM) contain candidates of dark matter. The search for the particle origin is currently ongoing at the large hadron collider (LHC). In this review, I will summarize the different search strategies for this elusive particle.
