directly detect dark matter interactions and to test one of the most important unsolved …

Galactic searches for dark matter

LE Strigari - Physics Reports, 2013 - Elsevier
For nearly a century, more mass has been measured in galaxies than is contained in the
luminous stars and gas. Through continual advances in observations and theory, it has …

micrOMEGAs_3: A program for calculating dark matter observables

G Bélanger, F Boudjema, A Pukhov… - Computer Physics …, 2014 - Elsevier
Abstract micrOMEGAs is a code to compute dark matter observables in generic extensions
of the standard model. This new version of micrOMEGAs is a major update which includes a …

Exotic decays of the 125 GeV Higgs boson

D Curtin, R Essig, S Gori, P Jaiswal, A Katz, T Liu, Z Liu… - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
We perform an extensive survey of nonstandard Higgs decays that are consistent with the
125 GeV Higgs-like resonance. Our aim is to motivate a large set of new experimental …

[HTML][HTML] On the validity of the effective field theory for dark matter searches at the LHC

G Busoni, A De Simone, E Morgante, A Riotto - Physics Letters B, 2014 - Elsevier
We discuss the limitations to the use of the effective field theory approach to study dark
matter at the LHC. We introduce and study a few quantities, some of them independent of …

ALPs at colliders

K Mimasu, V Sanz - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2015 - Springer
A bstract New pseudo-scalars, often called axion-like particles (ALPs), abound in model-
building and are often associated with the breaking of a new symmetry. Traditional searches …

A review of short-range gravity experiments in the LHC era

J Murata, S Tanaka - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
This paper briefly reviews recent short-range gravity experiments that were performed at
below laboratory scales to test the Newtonian inverse square law of gravity. To compare the …

Mono-Higgs-boson: A new collider probe of dark matter

L Carpenter, A DiFranzo, M Mulhearn, C Shimmin… - Physical Review D, 2014 - APS
Abstract We explore the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) phenomenology of dark matter (DM)
pair production in association with a 125-GeV Higgs boson. This signature, dubbed “mono …

On the validity of the effective field theory for dark matter searches at the LHC, part II: complete analysis for the s-channel

We generalize in several directions our recent analysis of the limitations to the use of the
effective field theory approach to study dark matter at the LHC. Firstly, we study the full list of …

Constraining light dark matter with low-energy e+ e− colliders

R Essig, J Mardon, M Papucci, T Volansky… - Journal of High Energy …, 2013 - Springer
A bstract We investigate the power of low-energy, high-luminosity electron-positron colliders
to probe hidden sectors with a mass below~ 10 GeV that couple to Standard Model particles …
