An example of the intended general structure, based on a modular construction around some of the tools being developed by the collaboration, is depicted in the Figure below.  Such a structure naturally allows analyses at the colliders and in indirect detection. Such a structure reinforces the complementarity of the  teams involved in the project.

As emphasized above, one of the forte of the project revolves around the exploitation of the automatic calculation of cross sections both at tree-level and, for SUSY, at one-loop. We can therefore quite easily implement any new model of New Physics at the Lagrangian level and pass it to micrOMEGAs that originally was set up to generate cross sections for the relic density calculations. micrOMEGAs can now also provides cross sections for colliders and for indirect detection. This part of the project is carried by the particle theorists team. These cross sections can then be used for predictions for indirect detection. This step, however,  requires a substantial input from the theoretical astrophysicists as well as their experimental counterpart in the team. Indeed the ongoing collaboration[12,23] intends to implement sophisticated codes for the propagation of charged particles, modelling of the halo profiles as well as detailed description of dense substructure (clumps). An interface with PYTHIA and later HERWIG for fragmentation and decay is the job of the experimental astrophysics team, whose other input is the modelling of the background and full simulation including detector resolutions.

At the same time, cross sections for the same New Physics model provided by micrOMEGAs will be exploited by the collider physics team. An important tool here will be a generalisation of SFitter to models of New Physics other than supersymmetry. From a simulation of well chosen observables, SFitter will return ``measurements" on the fundamental and underlying parameters  of the New Physics.  In the context of Dark Matter this can serve for a ``collider determination of the relic density" to be compared with the more direct value extracted from a combination of cosmological and astrophysical measurements. This is another reason we would also like to generalise micrOMEGAs to take into account scenarios for the early universe that deviate from the pure assumption of thermal relics and radiation domination (kination[2], etc..).  A  collaboration between the two theory teams is foreseen. Of course, at this point, comparison of data or simulations from the colliders and from the astrophysics experiments is also to be carried within our collaboration, with due care to the astrophysical uncertainties for example.

We want, within this project, to improve even  further on this scheme, especially as concerns supersymmetry. This is another important facet of our project. micrOMEGAs, though very complete, is to a large extent  based on tree-level calculations. It is crucial, especially in order to match the accuracy of PLANCK and the ILC, to give predictions at the loop level. We are developing the automatic code SloopS for this purpose. This code will then be exploited by micrOMEGAs and SFitter, as well as SDECAY. The most characteristic signal of DM annihilation into monochromatic gamma rays is also loop induced and therefore can be tackled by SloopS. We therefore view the development of SloopS as essential.

The problem of flavour is also on our agenda, in particular some effort is being devoted to a new powerful routine for bÒs γ[22]. This observable is very sensitive to New Physics.

Having all these tools and codes at our disposal we will be able to conduct trustworthy global analyses of the kind described in.  One more important addition, with the automatic codes we are developing and the modular structure we are setting up, it will be easy for us to implement novel models swiftly. Should for example the LHC hint at new signals that would be hard to interpret within today's popular scenarios, our task force can react rapidly by implementing new effective theories and confirming the consistency of the proposal both at the LHC, indirect precision measurements (g-2, bÒs γ..) and in astrophysics experiments.

Let us now turn to some of the details and in part technicalities of the project.
