Impact of LHC Run-1 on particle astrophysics

Abstract

An overview of the impact of the first three years of LHC operation on two of the most important open questions in astroparticle physics is presented. Measurements in proton-proton collisions at the energy frontier that provide valuable information on the identity of the highest-energy particles in the cosmos as well as new constraints on the nature of dark matter, are summarized.
