Abstract

In this project we will systematically study the interactions of higher spin (3/2 and 2) candidates for dark matter. We will employ the Hilbert series to count the number of independent effective operators as a function of the large scale mass scale. Then, we will obtain a basis for the dimension-five, -six and -seven operators and we will apply them to the Large Hadron Collider phenomenology.
