This document is the final report of the ATLAS-CMS Dark Matter Forum, a forum organized
by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations with the participation of experts on theories of Dark
Matter, to select a minimal basis set of dark matter simplified models that should support the
design of the early LHC Run-2 searches. A prioritized, compact set of benchmark models is
proposed, accompanied by studies of the parameter space of these models and a repository
of generator implementations. This report also addresses how to apply the Effective Field …
