There is overwhelming indication that we do not understand our universe. Experimental evidence points to the existence of socalled Dark Matter that makes up a 85% of all mass but does not interact with ordinary matter except through gravity. Many experiments are underway to shed light on this so-called „dark sector“ of physics, using various techniques and technologies to probe for signs of new particles or new interactions.
In this talk, I will explain the main strategies and challenges of searching for dark matter at particle colliders, where high-energy and high-intensity collisions can potentially produce dark sector particles. I will also review the latest results from some of the leading experiments in this field and discuss their implications and prospects for unraveling the mystery of dark matter.
