WIMP Comparisons to LHC

Making comparisons between:Direct detection results• Direct detection results

• Indirect detection results• LHC results

is, of course, non-trivial; no generic prescriptions and many DOF.

Two general approaches:

1 C i t t f ifi d l1. Compare in context of specific models(e.g. MSSM)

2. Compare using generalized models(e.g. effective field theory models)

SUMMARY

A tremendous amount of activity exists in astroparticle physics. There are new results from a wide variety of experiments.y

VHE γ-rays have opened a new window in astrophysics. TeV particle acceleration is ubiquitous in the cosmos and needs to be

d t d VHE t i t i lik l t f llunderstood. VHE neutrino astronomy is likely to follow soon.

WIMP dark matter is being increasingly constrained by LHC, direct and indirect measurements Interesting anomalies exist but noneand indirect measurements. Interesting anomalies exist, but none (as yet) provide convincing evidence for dark matter.

Numerous other dark matter candidates remain viable. Some (e.g. ( gaxions and ALPs) are being pursued by new projects with improved sensitivity. What other well-motivated candidates remain?

Th l b f f t i t b i l dThere are a large number of future experiments being planned or proposed. A common thread is the wish for “large scale” (> 40 M€) instruments. Not all of these will be realized.

QUESTIONS

1) What is required to eliminate the generic thermal WIMP pict re for dark matter? (or can the WIMP scenario bepicture for dark matter? (or, can the WIMP scenario be falsified?).

2) If LHC does not clearly see any new physics, are there other accelerator experiments that can shed light on d k tt ? (If h ?)dark matter? (If so, how?).

3) When can we say that we have determined the origin3) When can we say that we have determined the originof cosmic rays?

4) What is the appropriate balance of accelerator and non-accelerator projects in particle physics?
