Title Aspects of WIMP Dark Matter Searches at Colliders and Other Probes Author(s) Morgante, Enrico Publication Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2017. Description XX, 212 p. 50 illus., 42 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note This thesis covers several theoretical aspects of WIMP (weakly interacting massive particles) dark matter searches, with a particular emphasis on colliders. It mainly focuses on the use of effective field theories as a tool for Large Hadron Collider (LHC) searches, discussing in detail the issue of their validity, and on simplified dark matter models, which are receiving a growing attention from the physics community. It highlights the theoretical consistency of simplified models, which is essential in order to correctly exploit their potential and for them to be a common reference when comparing results from different experiments. This thesis is of interest to researchers (both theorists and experimentalists) in the field of dark matter searches, and offers a comprehensive introduction to dark matter and to WIMP searches for students and non-experts ISBN,Price 9783319676067 Keyword(s) 1.
