Description
Abstract: The usually expected signals of dark matter candidate particles at the LHC include missing transverse momentum. In the first part of the talk, we discuss a scenario where the signals are drastically different from this, and consist not in missing momentum but in quasi-stable charged tracks. Thereafter we describe a situation where the direct search constraint on the dark matter candidate disappear due to some peculiar nature of the spectrum, and suggest a novel experimental signal in the form of same-sign trileptons. Both of the scenarios discussed are minor variants of the minimal supersymmetic standard model.
