Title:     Portals to the Dark Sector

Abstract: A handful of open questions, such as the nature of the cosmic dark matter and the origin of neutrino masses, compel the search for a new paradigm of matter and forces. A novel, yet plausible, element of this framework may be a hidden or dark sector of new elementary particles, which does not experience the familiar strong and electroweak interactions. Such a hidden world may still influence our visible world if there is a very weak interaction, or portal, between the two sectors. I will introduce the basic theoretical framework of dark sectors and portals and highlight the growing experimental program to search for a variety of novel phenomena associated with these theories.
