Sensitivity studies for Dark Matter models — •Martin Habedank, Priscilla Pani, and David Berge — Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY)

There is overwhelming evidence for the existence of Dark Matter, yet despite all efforts in direct, indirect and collider searches no suitable candidate has been found so far. To advance activities in the right direction in collider searches it is therefore informative to assess the parameter space already excluded for Dark Matter models by the various searches.

This talk will present sensitivity studies conducted in order to constrain existing Dark Matter models like the 2HDM+a model that introduces an extended Higgs sector. The work thereby focusses mainly on LHC results and makes use of the open-source tool Contur that allows straightforward comparisons of the parameter space excluded by different analyses available as Rivet routines.
