| Title | Make your own dark matter – in principle and in practice |
| Abstract |
I will review the astrophysical evidence for a particle physics interpretation of dark matter. Possible production mechanisms of candidate dark matter particles at the Large-Hadron-Collider (LHC) as well as their experimental signatures will be discussed. The presentation will summarize the current status and the performance of the LHC and its experiments. |
