Simplified Models for Dark Matter Interacting with Quarks
arXiv:1308.2679 · doi:10.1007/JHEP11(2013)014
Abstract
We investigate simplified models in which dark matter particles, taken to be either Dirac or Majorana fermions, couple to quarks via colored mediators. We determine bounds from colliders and direct detection experiments, and show how the interplay of the two leads to a complementary view of this class of dark matter models. Forecasts for future searches in light of the current constraints are presented.
