Special HEP Seminar The search for dark matter is one of the outstanding problems in particle physics. I will discuss constraints that can be placed on dark matter particles from current and upcoming collider experiments like the LHC. These searches are complementary to direct detection searches like XENON and CDMS, and can rule out light dark matter particles which are otherwise inaccessible at direct detection experiments.
