An overview of DarkBit, the GAMBIT dark matter module

Understand

In this conference paper, I give an overview of the capabilities of DarkBit, a module of the GAMBIT global fitting code that calculates a range of dark matter observables and corresponding experimental likelihood functions.

• Included in the code are limits from the dark matter relic density, multiple direct detection experiments, and indirect searches in gamma-rays and neutrinos.
• I discuss the capabilities of the code, and then present recent results of GAMBIT scans of the parameter space of the minimal supersymmetric standard model, with a focus on sensitivities of future dark matter searches to the current best fit regions.
