“…To describe them would exceed the scope of this review and we refer the interested reader to the literature, see for example [45][46][47][48][49][50][51]. Final state with dilepton resonances are also possible but lead usually to weaker constraints [52][53][54].…”

Dark matter is one of the main puzzles in fundamental physics and the goal of a diverse, multi-pronged research program. Underground and astrophysical searches look for for dark matter particles in the cosmos, either by interacting directly or by searching for dark matter annihilation. Particle colliders, in contrast, might produce dark matter in the laboratory and are able to probe most basic dark-matter-matter interactions. They are sensitive to low dark matter masses, provide complementary information at higher masses and are subject to different systematic uncertainties. Collider searches are therefore an important part of an inter-disciplinary dark matter search strategy. This article highlights the experimental and phenomenological development in collider dark matter searches of recent years and their connection with the wider field. PACS numbers: 95.35.+d

“…Confronting the EFT approach with data requires a global fit to Tevatron and LHC data on differential cross sections. A first global fit at LO has been performed with the TopFitter software tool [466,467], where the complementarity between LHC and Tevatron measurements has been demonstrated [468] and boosted-top final states have been included [469]. To match the experimental precision, NLO corrections to the EFT are being worked out, with complications such as mixing of the operators in the renormalization group evolution.…”

After the discovery of the top quark more than 20 years ago, its properties have been studied in great detail both in production and in decay. Increasingly sophisticated experimental results from the Fermilab Tevatron and from Run 1 and Run 2 of the LHC at CERN are complemented by very precise theoretical predictions in the framework of the standard model of particle physics and beyond. In this article the current status of top-quark physics is reviewed, focusing on experimental results, and a perspective of top-quark physics at the LHC and at future colliders is given.

“…Indeed, the diagrams shown in figure 1 can represent the dominant contribution for interactions with nucleons of a particular class of DM candidates, which have no tree-level couplings to quarks, but only to leptons. These leptophilic scenarios have been proposed to reduce the tension of the DM interpretation among different direct detection experiments [49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56], to solve some cosmic-ray anomalies [57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69], to explain the gamma-ray galactic center excess [70], to alleviate the tension in the measured muon magnetic moment [71][72][73], as potential signals in collider searches [74][75][76][77][78][79] or in gravitational wave detectors [77], as a way to capture DM in celestial objects [51,[80][81][82][83][84][85][86] and, within the context of sub-GeV DM, to discuss future strategies of direct detection [87][88]…”

In leptophilic scenarios, dark matter interactions with nuclei, relevant for direct detection experiments and for the capture by celestial objects, could only occur via loop-induced processes. If the mediator is a scalar or pseudo-scalar particle, which only couples to leptons, the dominant contribution to dark matter-nucleus scattering would take place via two-photon exchange with a lepton triangle loop. The corresponding diagrams have been estimated in the literature under different approximations. Here, we present new analytical calculations for one-body two-loop and two-body one-loop interactions. The two-loop form factors are presented in closed analytical form in terms of generalized polylogarithms up to weight four. In both cases, we consider the exact dependence on all the involved scales, and study the dependence on the momentum transfer. We show that some previous approximations fail to correctly predict the scattering cross section by several orders of magnitude. Moreover, we quantitatively show that form factors in the range of momentum transfer relevant for local galactic dark matter, can be significantly smaller than their value at zero momentum transfer, which is the approach usually considered.
