A Comparison of Future Dark Matter Searches

ORAL

Abstract

We analyze the projected limits from current and upcoming direct detection, indirect detection and collider searches in the context of minimal extensions to the standard model with thermal relic dark matter called Effective WIMPs. These 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.
