Description
Last couple of years marked a shift in the paradigm of dark matter
searches at colliders. While most of the results of earlier searches
have been presented in terms of limits on effective field theory
operators, the limitations of this approach have been realized and
the results of new searches are now mostly being interpreted in
terms of simplified models of dark matter. Not only these models
allow for a more realistic comparison between collider and direct
or indirect detection experiments, but they also can be used to put
constraints on dark matter models from seemingly unrelated
searches, e.g., a search for dijet resonances. I'll review the current
status of simplified dark matter models and also talk about new
ideas on expanding the existing set of models to allow for a broader
interpretation of existing searches and design better strategies for
future ones.
