SUMMARY:Flavored Dark Matter and R-Parity Violation\, Theory Seminar (
 High Energy/Cosmology)\, Tongyan Lin\, University of Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Minimal Flavor Violation offers an alternative symmetry ra
 tionale to R-parity conservation for the suppression of proton decay i
 n supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. The naturalness of 
 such theories is generically under less tension from LHC searches than
  R-parity conserving models. The flavor symmetry can also guarantee th
 e stability of dark matter if it carries flavor quantum numbers. We ou
 tline general features of supersymmetric flavored dark matter (SFDM) m
 odels within the framework of MFV SUSY. A simple model of top flavored
  dark matter is presented. If the dark matter is a thermal relic\, the
 n nearly the entire parameter space of the model is testable by upcomi
 ng direct detection and LHC searches.
