It mainly focuses on the use of effective field theories as a tool for Large Hadron Collider (LHC) searches, discussing in detail the issue of their validity, and on simplified dark matter models, which are receiving a growing attention from the physics community. It highlights the theoretical consistency of simplified models, which is essential in order to correctly exploit their potential and for them to be a common reference when comparing results from different experiments. This thesis is of interest to researchers (both theorists and experimentalists) in the field of dark matter searches, and offers a comprehensive introduction to dark matter and to WIMP searches for students and non-experts. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aCosmology 606 $aNuclear physics 606 $aPhysical measurements 606 $aMeasurement 606 $aCosmology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22049 606 $aParticle and Nuclear Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P23002 606 $aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31040 615 0$aCosmology. 615 0$aNuclear physics. 615 0$aPhysical measurements. 615 0$aMeasurement. 615 14$aCosmology. 615 24$aParticle and Nuclear Physics. 615 24$aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation. 676 $a523.1 700 $aMorgante$b Enrico$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0818353 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254588103321 996 $aAspects of WIMP Dark Matter Searches at Colliders and Other Probes$92000192 997 $aUNINA
