Tools for Dark Matter and the New Physics at theColliders and in Astrophysics
ToolsDmCollis 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.

LHC Planning 2008, Collisions at 10 TeV
End of July: First particles may be injected, and the commissioning with beams and collisions will start. It is expected that it will take about 2 months to have first collisions at 10 TeV.
It's official. Bernabei at NO-VE 2008 in Venice has confirmed a DM signal at 8.2 sigma! Let's disgest the news before commenting on it. A pdf of the presentation is here .
