We consider a scenario where dark matter (DM) interacts exclusively with Standard Model leptons at tree level. Because of the absence of tree-level couplings to quarks, the constraints on leptophilic dark matter arising from direct detection and hadron collider experiments are weaker than those for a generic weakly interacting massive …
