We analyze dark matter (DM) annihilation in a stabilised Randall-Sundrum (RS) model, where the radion—the lightest spin-0 Kaluza-Klein state—acts as a portal between DM and the Standard Model (SM).
By recasting limits from axion-diphoton couplings and collider searches for spin-0 resonances, we constrain the radion’s parameter space and demonstrate that Weakly Interacting Massive Particles...
We investigate the phenomenological prospects of the Two Higgs Doublet and Complex Singlet Scalar Extension (2HDMS) in the context of dark matter (DM) and Higgs phenomenology. The 2HDMS provides an enlarged Higgs sector along with a DM candidate. In this work, we perform an exhaustive scan to find representative benchmarks which are consistent with all theoretical and experimental constraints....
Determination of the nature of dark matter is one of the most fundamental problems of particle physics and cosmology. This talk presents recent searches for dark matter particles from the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider in mono-X signatures.
The BESIII experiment is taking data at a symmetric $e^+e^-$ collider operating at the center of mass energies from 2.0 to 4.95 GeV. With the world’s largest on-threshold production data set of $J/\psi$ (10 billion), $\psi$(3686) (2.6 billion), and 20 $fb^{-1}$ of $\psi(3770)$ decaying into D meson pairs, we are able to search for various dark sectors particles produced in $e^+e^-$...
A detailed study exploiting novel trigger and reconstruction techniques developed to search for Beyond Standard Model (BSM) Long-Lived Particles (LLPs) with very displaced vertices is presented. Building on feasibility studies that have successfully reconstructed Standard Model decays occurring up to 8m forward of the interaction point in LHCb’s magnet region, the search for LLP particles into...
Although suggested by cosmological and astrophysical observables, no dark matter candidate has been observed to date. Potential mediators between the visible and dark sectors are receiving more and more attention since they offer the opportunity of discovering the nature of dark matter at collider experiments. The LHCb experiment, originally built for $b$- and $c$-physics, has proven to be...
The Belle and Belle II experiment have collected samples of $e^+e^-$ collision data at centre-of-mass energies near the $\Upsilon(nS)$ resonances. These data have constrained kinematics and low multiplicity, which allow searches for dark sector particles in the mass range from a few MeV to 10 GeV. Using a 365 fb$^{-1}$ sample collected by Belle II, we search for inelastic dark matter and an...
