Abstract
Despite the fact that dark matter constitutes one of the cornerstones of the
standard cosmological paradigm, its existence has so far only been inferred
from astronomical observations and its microscopic nature remains elusive.
Theoretical arguments suggest that dark matter might be connected to the
symmetry-breaking mechanism of the electroweak interactions or of other
symmetries extending the Standard Model of particle physics. The resulting
Higgs bosons, including the $125 \, {\rm GeV}$ spin-0 particle discovered
recently at the Large Hadron Collider therefore represent a unique tool to
search for dark matter candidates at collider experiments. This article reviews
some of the relevant theoretical models as well as the results from the
searches for dark matter in signatures that involve a Higgs-like particle at
the Large Hadron Collider.
