We study the possibility of identifying dark matter properties from XENON-like 100 kg experiments and the GLAST satellite mission. We show that whereas direct detection experiments will probe efficiently light WIMPs, given a positive detection (at the 10% level for $m_{chi} lesssim 50$ GeV), GLAST will be able to confirm and even increase the precision in the case of a NFW profile, for a WIMP-nucleon cross-section $sigma_{chi-p} lesssim 10^{-8}$ pb. We also predict the rate of production of a WIMP in the next generation of colliders (ILC), and compare their sensitivity to the WIMP mass with the XENON and GLAST projects.

This letter presents new results on the combined sensitivity of the LHC and underground dark matter search experiments to the lightest neutralino as WIMP candidate in the minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. We show that monojet searches significantly extend the sensitivity to the neutralino mass in scenarios where scalar quarks are nearly degenerate in mass with it. The inclusion of the latest bound by the LUX experiment on the neutralino-nucleon spin-independent scattering cross section expands this sensitivity further, highlighting the remarkable complementarity of jets/$ell$s+MET and monojet at LHC and dark matter searches in probing models of new physics with a dark matter candidate. The qualitative results of our study remain valid after accounting for theoretical uncertainties.
We consider analysis targets at the International Linear Collider in which only a single photon can be observed. For such processes, we have developed a method which uses likelihood distributions using the full event information (photon energy and angle). The method was applied to a search for neutralino pair production with a photon from initial state radiation (ISR) in the case of supergravity in which the neutralino is the lightest supersymmetric particle. We determine the cross section required to observe the neutralino pair production with ISR as a function of the neutralino mass in the range of 100 to 250 GeV.
Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are one of the leading candidates for Dark Matter. So far we can use direct Dark Matter detection to estimate the mass of halo WIMPs only by fitting predicted recoil spectra to future experimental data. Here we develop a model-independent method for determining the WIMP mass by using experimental data directly. This method is independent of the as yet unknown WIMP density near the Earth as well as of the WIMP-nuclear cross section and can be used to extract information about WIMP mass with O(50) events.
In view of the very precise measurements on fermion couplings which will be performed at ILC250 with polarized beams, there is emerging evidence that the LEP1/SLC measurements on these couplings are an order of magnitude too imprecise to match the accuracies reachable at ILC250. This will therefore severely limit the indirect sensitivity to new resonances and require revisiting the possibility to run ILC at the Z pole with polarized electrons. This work was done as a contribution to the ESU 2018-2020.
Two next-generation high-energy experiments, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the $e^+e^-$ International Linear Collider (ILC), are highly expected to unravel the new structure of matter and forces from the electroweak scale to the TeV scale. In this talk we give a compelling but rather descriptive review of the complementary role of LHC and ILC in drawing a comprehensive and high precision picture of the mechanism breaking the electroweak symmetries and generating mass, the unification of forces and the structure of spacetime. Supersymmetry is exploited in this description as a prototype scenario of the physics beyond the Standard Model.
