Abstract
The prospects for detecting a candidate supersymmetric dark matter particle at the LHC are reviewed, and compared with the prospects for direct and indirect searches for astrophysical dark matter, on the basis of a frequentist analysis of the preferred regions of the Minimal supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with universal soft supersymmetry breaking (the CMSSM) and a model with equal but non-universal supersymmetry-breaking contributions to the Higgs masses (the NUHM1). LHC searches may have good chances to observe supersymmetry in the near future - and so may direct searches for astrophysical dark matter particles.
