Description
While the urge to find a particle physics candidate for the dark matter of the universe often turns the focus of new physics searches at the LHC to theories predicting invisible particles, there are alternative scenarios, too, and with important physical motivations, where massive invisible particles are not always produced. Interestingly, some of these scenarios can still address the dark matter issue. The characteristic signals of some scenarios, and the crucial issue of distinguishing them from one another, will be discussed in this talk.
