Collider Searches for Effective WIMP Dark Matter
POSTER
Abstract
We analyze the kinematic distributions of Effective WIMP dark matter and estimate the statistical significance ( \begin{figure}[htbp] \centerline{\includegraphics[width=0.33in,height=0.19in]{120120181.eps}} \label{fig1} \end{figure} $S/\sqrt B )$ of dark matter signals at the LHC and future colliders. These Effective WIMP models contain a singlet dark matter particle and a lepton ``partners'' with renormalizable cubic couplings between dark matter, the lepton partners, and leptons. Within this framework, we consider four models where the dark matter is a real scalar boson, complex scalar boson, Majorana fermion, or Dirac fermion.
