Validity of EFT for dark matter searches at the LHC
Andrea De Simone · 2014
I will review the status of the searches for dark matter, focussing on what we can learn from LHC. I will dicuss the limitations to the use of the effective field theory approach to study dark matter at the LHC. I will introduce and study a few quantities, some of them independent from the UV completion of the DM theory, which quantify the error made when using the effective operators to describe processes with very high momentum transfer.
