Description

Given the stringent upper limits from direct detection experiments, one possibility is that dark matter scatters with nuclei only at the loop level. In the first part of the talk, I will discuss direct detection signals of simplified models. We impose current limits and analyse how next generation experiments can constrain the dark matter parameter space. In the second part, I analyse the case of a fermion singlet, where neutrino masses can be easily generated at one loop. I will present the results of our study of the phenomenology of the model, including lepton flavour violating processes.
