Project Overview
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is aiming to probe the signature of possible darkmatter particles. Despite decades of study, no clear understanding of darkmatter exists, leading to various particle physics models. Extensions of the Standard Model, such as the MSSM and Left-Right Model, could accommodate darkmatter candidates. However, collider experiments like the LHC have not yet detected darkmatter. The proposed project aims to analyze possible darkmatter scenarios at collider experiments, including the LHC and the proposed International Collider. The project will use current data analysis tools and develop methodologies for detection, identification, and differentiation of different scenarios. The project will specifically consider signatures of multi-component darkmatter scenarios.
