Dark Matter Overview: Collider, Direct and Indirect Detection Searches

Abstract

The complementarity of direct, indirect and collider searches for dark matter has improved our understanding concerning the properties of the dark matter particle. I will review the basic concepts that these methods rely upon and highlight what are the most important information they provide when it comes down to interpret the results in terms of Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). Later, I go over some of the latest results emphasizing the implications to dark matter theory in a broad sense and point out recent developments and prospects in the field.

10 pages, 6 figures. Based on the invited talk "Dark Matter Overview" given at Moriond 2016. Many thanks to the organizers for putting together great physicists in a lovely environment!
