Results are presented from a search for new physics in the final states containing either a photon or a jet accompanied by an imbalance in transverse energy using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb−1 collected in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV by the CMS experiment. The observed event count agrees with standard model expectations, establishing upper limits on the sp

We present a detailed analysis of the radio synchrotron emission induced by WIMP dark matter annihilations and decays in galactic and extragalactic halos.
We show that low frequency data are particularly suitable to search for the galactic emission and current data can already constrain particle dark matter with “thermal” annihilation cross-sections and masses <=10 GeV.
We then consider the

The current LHC results lead to an increasing tension between the expectations for new particles at the weak scale and observations.
However, new states remain viable even when they are charged or colored if they are very close in mass to the dark matter particle since such a scenario is inherently difficult to constrain at colliders.
Moreover, a dark matter particle embedded in a nearly degene

We investigate several new event types that can be searched for in dark matter direct detection experiments. In the first part of the talk, we discuss the scattering of solar neutrinos on electrons and atomic nuclei. The rates of these processes are small in the Standard Model, but can be enhanced by several orders of magnitude in models with new light gauge bosons ("dark photons") and with steril

The Dark Energy Survey Collaboration will soon begin a 5000 sq. deg. imaging survey of the southern galactic cap using a new 3 sq. deg., 520 Megapixel CCD camera, the Dark Energy Camera (DECam), with 5 filters (g,r,i,z and Y) mounted on the Blanco 4-meter telescope at the Cerro-Tololo Inter-American Observatory. Construction of DECam is complete, and installation and commissioning on the telesco

The Large Underground Xenon (LUX) experiment consists of a two-phase xenon time projection chamber, which is being deployed at a depth of 4850 feet in the Homestake mine in Lead, South Dakota. When LUX begins operation in Fall 2012 it will be the world’s most sensitive dark matter detector, with a fiducial target mass of 100 kg. Results from a surface lab commissioning and calibration run of L
