Conclusions Dark Matter provides an indication of a New Physics SUSY LSP is a candidate for Dark Matter No signs of SUSY at LHC so far a plenty of new (full statistics) measurements will be released at Moriond 2012. Stay tuned! 2012 LHC will run with increased energy of 8 TeV to deliver 15 fb -1 per experiment (ATLAS, CMS) If there is a ~ TeV-scale SUSY dark matter particle LHC will discover SUSY and allow detailed studies and parameters determination Dark Matter 2012 Valery Andreev (UCLA) 23
