Dark matter: experimental and observational status

Abstract

This brief review covers recent results on searches for dark matter in collider experiments, as well as from direct and indirect detection observatories. It focuses on generic searches for dark matter signatures at the LHC, e.g. mono-X, dijets, etc. Recently observed astrophysical signals that may provide hints of dark matter are also discussed.
