Since discovery of dark matter through gravitational anomaly observation in the early 20th century, not a single experiment has yielded a definitive trace of dark matter. In theory, Dark Matter could be created by colliding standard particles at high energies and be detected through "missing" energy signature. Such approach is pursued at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator. In this talk, I will discuss key signatures and the latest results of dark matter searches at the LHC, and highlight challenges for Run 2, new directions of searches, and prospect for the future.
This talk will be primarily based on contributions presented in the Dark Matter @ LHC workshop Apr 3-6 2018 (https://indico.cern.ch/event/669891/).
