These lectures give an overview of aspects of missing E_T signatures from new physics at the LHC, along with their important connection to dark matter physics. Mostly, I will concentrate on supersymmetric (SUSY) sources of missing E_T, but will also mention Little Higgs models with T-parity (LHT) and universal extra dimensions (UED) models with KK-parity. Lecture 1 covers SUSY basics, model building and spectra computation. Lecture 2 addresses sparticle production and decay mechanisms at hadron colliders and event generation. Lecture 3 covers SUSY signatures at LHC, along with LHT and UED signatures for comparison. In Lecture 4, I address the dark matter connection, and how direct and indirect dark matter searches, along with LHC collider searches, may allow us to both discover and characterize dark matter in the next several years. Finally, the interesting scenario of Yukawa-unified SUSY is examined; this case works best if the dark matter turns out to be a mixture of axion/axino states, rather than neutralinos.
