SUMMARY:Dark Matter at the LHC: Understanding experimental reach - Thomas

DESCRIPTION:As beyond-standard-model physics continues to elude discovery 
 at the LHC\, it becomes increasingly important to ask what we can learn ab
 out dark matter in a model-independent way. I will introduce the theory\na
 nd usage of effective operators\; these have become popular in recent year
 s as a way to construct model-independent constraints on dark matter\, but
  at LHC energies it is crucial to understand their\nsignificance and limit
 ations\, and how they can be used to compare the reach of vastly different
  experiments. With this in mind\, I will also discuss the next step beyond
  effective operators\, and techniques to\nlink the search for missing ener
 gy with the much-sought-after Dark Matter.
