LHC Implications of the WIMP Miracle and Grand Unification

Understand

With the assumptions that dark matter consists of an electroweak triplet and that the gauge couplings unify at a high scale, we identify robust phenomenological trends of possible matter contents at the TeV scale.

• In particular, we expect new colored states within the LHC reach that can have Yukawa couplings lambda to quarks and the Higgs.
• We investigate the collider signatures that are characteristic of all such models by adopting the model with the simplest matter content as a benchmark.
• The lambda couplings are constrained by flavor/CP physics.
