● Extensions of the Standard Model introduced for reasons independent of Dark Matter (hierarchy problem) include new particles such as:● LSP – neutralino 0
1
● LKP from e.g. universal extra dimensions● These are good Dark Matter candidates
● 100 GeV < M < few TeV● Neutral, stable● Annihilation cross-section O(1 pb) - appropriate relic density

Conclusions (III)
The repowering and investigations performed in sectors 1- 2, 6- 7 and 7- 8 were very successful
There is no excessive splice resistance in the dipole bus- bars in suspicious cryo-cell 15- 16 of sector 1- 2
– Perfect (nominal) splice resistances of 0.35 nΩ were measured
An excessive resistance inside dipoles B16.R1, B32.R6 was detected
– The electrical resistance, estimated by two independent methods, is of the order of 100 and 47 nΩ
Investigations performed in sector 1- 2 resulted in development of powerful calorimetric and electric methods to detect and monitor excessive resistances in the main LHC magnet circuits
– These methods will be further improved and applied as dedicated procedures
during the machine commissioning and operation. The electrical method will
include the busbar splice.
