6 Dark Matter: Thermal Suitable DM Candidate: Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) Typical in Physics beyond the SM (LSP, LKP, ) Most Common: Neutralino (SUSY Models) Neutralino: Mixture o Wino, Higgsino and Bino smaller annihilation cross-section Larger annihilation cross-section Larger/Smaller Annihilation Problem or thermal scenario 6

9 Dark Matter Pair Annihilation Dark matter annihilation cross-section: <sv>= a + b v a, b are constants I S wave is suppressed then the cross-section is dominated by P wave b v >>a <sv> is much smaller today compared to the reeze-out time Thermal Relic Density: At reeze-out, <sv> =3x10-6 cm 3 /s High b/a lowers the cross-section at small v (Present Epoch) For S wave domination, cross-section remains same (constant) Annihilation cross-section can be larger today compared to the Freeze-out time due to Sommereld enhancement 9

10 LHC Constraints and Status o LHC constraints on irst generation DMsquark mass + Higgs mass: Natural SUSY and dark matter [Baer, Barger, Huang, Mickelson, Mustaayev and Tata 1; Gogoladze, Nasir, Shai 1, Hall, Pinner, Ruderman, 11; Papucchi, Ruderman, Weiler 11], Higgs mass 15 GeV & Cosmological gravitino solution [Allahverdi, Dutta, Sinha 1] Higgsino dark matter Higgsino dark matter has larger annihilation cross-section Typically > 3 x 10-6 cm 3 /sec or sub-tev mass Thermal underproduction o sub-tev Higgsino Unnatural SUSY: Wino DM- Larger annihilation cross-section (or smaller wino mass) Arkani-Hamid, Gupta, Kaplan, Weiner, Zorawsky 1 10

11 LHC status Recent Higgs search results rom Atlas and CMS indicate that m h ~16 GeV in the tight MSSM window <135 GeV (1st gen.) ~ 1.7 TeV For heavy m~ q m~q, m~ g ~ t1 g ~ ~ t m~ g 1.3 TeV produced rom, 700 GeV m~ t1 produced directly, 660 GeV (special case) 1 ~e / ~ m~ t1 excluded between 110 and 80 GeV or a mass-less or or a mass dierence >100 GeV, small DM is associated with small missing energy Can lead to over production o relic abundance ~ 1 0 ~ 1 masses between 100 and 600 GeV are excluded 0 or mass-less ~ 1 or ~ 1 or or the mass dierence >50 GeV decaying into e/m Can lead to over production o relic abundance 11

12 Status o Thermal DM Thermal equilibrium above T is an assumption. T T Non-standard thermal history at is generic in some explicit UV completions o the SM. Acharya, Kumar, Bobkov, Kane, Shao 08 Acharya, Kane, Watson, Kumar 09 Allahverdi, Cicoli, Dutta, Sinha, 13 DM content will be dierent in non-standard thermal histories (i.e., i there is entropy production at ).

Optimization: Tagged jets : p T > 50 GeV, M j1j > 1500 GeV; Events with loosely identiied leptons(l = e; m ; t h ) and b-quark jets: rejected. Missing E T : optimized or dierent value o the LSP mass.

35 Direct Detection Neutrino loor needs to be understood! 35

36 Conclusion The origin o DM content is a big puzzle key to understand the history o the early universe Thermal DM is a very attractive scenario However, it contains certain assumptions about thermal history Alternatives with a non-standard thermal history are motivated Typically arise in UV completions Can ease the tension with tightening experimental limits Non-thermal DM arising rom moduli decay is a viable scenario can yield the correct density or large & small annihilation rates Direct, Indirect detection and LHC experimental results in tandem will probe the origin o DM Need: simulation studies o multicomponent DM and understanding the neutrino loor
