Dark MatterSome evidences

A nonbaryonic, “dark”, charge-neutral object which interacts weakly with normal matters

inconsistent with stable heavy quark search at colliders

However, ∵ ( Mt_ - MAH ) < MW < Mtop

top partner ONLY has 4-body decay channel, decay life time is too long!

Summary With Mh = 125 GeV, co-annihilation is needed for heavier (not

~ Mh/2) dark matter in LHT model to explain current universe.

In co-annihilation region, T-odd new heavy fermions should be very light, large production cross section at the LHC.

The small mass difference between dark matter and T-odd leptons makes collider search very difficult.

light T-odd top quark partner decays “too late” -> not allowed by collider searches.

mono-jet + MET from light T-odd quarks + 1jet production at the LHC exceed current limit if MAH < 220 GeV.

Future DM direct search exps can explore whole parameter space.
