Dark matter could be produced at the LHC if it interacts weakly with the Standard Model. The search for dark matter can be performed directly, by looking for a signature of large missing transverse momentum coming from the dark matter candidates escaping the detector, measured against an accompanying visible object (jet, photon, boson). A broad and systematic search program covering these...

Searches using large missing momentum are a powerful tool for probing dark matter hypotheses using the Compact Muon Solenoid at the LHC. Collectively, they are dubbed "mono-X" searches, where X refers to one of many Standard Model signatures. In this talk, I will give an overview of the broad range of CMS mono-X analyses, describe new techniques developed during Run 2, and showcase the latest...

The search for dark matter can be performed indirectly at the LHC by looking for the intermediate mediators which would couple the dark matter particles to the Standard Model. The mediator could indeed decay to jets or leptons, leading to a resonant signature which can be probed. The talk will present the results of these searches with the ATLAS detector and show their complementarity with the...

We present several complementary searches for dark matter mediators using a 35.9 inverse femtobarn data set of proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV collected with the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016. One technique uses the CMS scouting data stream concept to record larger data rates than otherwise possible. Other searches use initial state radiation to overcome trigger thresholds and study...
