Abstract
We present MadDM v.1.0, a numerical tool to compute dark matter relic abundance in a generic model. The code is based on the existing MadGraph 5 architecture and as such is easily integrable into any MadGraph collider study. A simple Python interface offers a level of user-friendliness characteristic of MadGraph 5 without sacrificing functionality. MadDM is able to calculate the dark matter relic abundance in models which include a multi-component dark sector, resonance annihilation channels and co-annihilations. We validate the code in a wide range of dark matter models by comparing the relic density results from MadDM to the existing tools and literature.
