Dark Matter in Collision

Date:	April 12-13, 2012
Location:	University of California Davis
Building:	UC Davis Conference Center

Abstract:

Dark Matter in Collision will bring together experimentalists and theorists to discuss present and future signals and constraints. Recent results from Tevatron and LHC have placed stringent limits on the spin-dependent DM-nucleon cross section and extended the spin-independent limits to lower masses. This workshop will explore the validity of the comparisons between collider and direct search limits. Models that lie beyond the contact interaction description will be discussed.
