Tools for Dark Matter and the New Physics at the Colliders and in Astrophysics


ToolsDmColl is an ANR project approved for three years starting from January 2008. This is a cross-border particle-astroparticle collaboration involving theorists and experimentalists. The project
is to develop, improve, interface and exploit tools for the prediction and analysis of Dark Matter signals from a combination of terrestrial and non terrestrial observations, paying due attention to astrophysical uncertainties and standard model backgrounds at the colliders while covering a wide spectrum of New Physics Models. The project is timely: 2008 is the year that will see the start of the LHC, the launch of Planck and a few astrophysics experiments. The physicists involved are members of four different laboratories: LAPTh and LAPP in Annecy-le-Vieux, LPSC in Grenoble and IAP in Paris.
