Title:     A Model-Independent Understanding of WIMP Searches

Abstract: I explore the various search strategies which are useful in detecting WIMP dark matter, and present their interplay within the framework of a model-independent parametrization of dark matter interactions. In the process I present bounds on direct detection cross-sections from collider and indirect searches for dark matter. I also consider some of the possible caveats which require departing from the original parametrization and see how they shift the bounds derived from colliders.
