DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mattia Di Mauro (INFN Torino)\n\nThe recent high-ene
 rgy recoil event reported by LUX-ZEPLIN has motivated a broad range of dar
 k-matter interpretations. In this talk I will review the main theoretical 
 scenarios that have been proposed\, including thermal Higgsino and minimal
  electroweak dark matter\, pseudo-Dirac models\, endothermic and exothermi
 c dark matter\, and elastic momentum-dependent interactions.\nI will focus
  in particular on the theoretical and phenomenological challenges faced by
  these interpretations. Beyond reproducing the LZ recoil spectrum\, viable
  models must be consistent with the dark-matter relic abundance\, Solar ca
 pture and neutrino-telescope constraints\, collider searches\, indirect de
 tection\, and the dark matter cosmological evolution. I will discuss the p
 resent status of the different scenarios and the complementary observation
 s that can test them in the near future.\n\nhttps://indico.global/event/19
