Brazilian Community Report on Dark Matter
  This white paper summarizes the activities of the Brazilian community
concerning dark matter physics and highlights the importance of financial
support to Brazilian groups that are deeply involved in experimental
endeavours. The flagships of the Brazilian dark matter program are the
Cherenkov Telescope Array, DARKSIDE, SBN and LHC experiments, but we emphasize
that smaller experiments such as DAMIC and CONNIE constitute important probes
to dark sectors as well and should receive special attention. Small
experimental projects showing the potential to probe new regions of parameter
space of dark matter models are encouraged. On the theoretical and
phenomenological side, some groups are devoted to astrophysical aspects such as
the dark matter density profile while others explore the signature of dark
matter models at colliders, direct and indirect detection experiments. In
summary, the Brazilian dark matter community that was born not long ago has
grown tremendously in the past years and now plays an important role in the
hunt for a dark matter particle.
