In twenty minutes the mini-workshop on Dark Matter at LHC that we organized for Physics students will start in Aula B at our Physics Department “Galileo Galilei”, here in Padova. I will be closing the workshop with a talk named as this post: which is both a good and a bad thing. It is good to have the last word, but it is not good to see other unmoderated talks straggling past their allotted time and the audience leaving to catch the last train before you had a chance of hypnotizing them.

In any case, I have prepared a reasonably light-weight presentation. The slides are unfortunately in Italian, but I will give a transcript here as an update, later this evening or tomorrow. They are tightly packed - a feature which I call a annoying defect in other people’s presentations, but I find always excusable in my own. No, really - the reason for filling the slides up with text is to make the slides usable without the speaker: a commendable, unselfish reason, you will agree.

So, please find the slides here. I will remove the link once I manage to put together a transcript, since I am running short of space in the public area where I store my stuff. Incidentally, I will have to find a solution for that. Does anybody have an advice on free sites offering permanent access to a Gig of disk space ?
