abstract

A search for dark matter in events with a displaced nonresonant muon pair and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis is performed using an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton (pp) collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV produced by the LHC in 2016-2018. No significant excess over the predicted backgrounds is observed. Upper limits are set on the product of the inelastic dark matter production cross section $\sigma$(pp $\to$ A' $\to$ $\chi_1$ $\chi_2$) and the decay branching fraction $\mathcal{B}$($\chi_2$ $\to$ $\chi_1 \mu^+ \mu^-$), where A' is a dark photon and $\chi_1$ and $\chi_2$ are states in the dark sector with near mass degeneracy. This is the first dedicated collider search for inelastic dark matter.

  1. Singlet-doublet dark matter beyond freeze-out

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In the small-coupling limit of the singlet-doublet dark matter model, the relic density is set by co-scattering, freeze-in, or SuperWIMP decays rather than ordinary freeze-out, and the observable signals move from dir...

  2. Search for long-lived particles using displaced vertices of oppositely charged leptons in 140 fb$^{-1}$ of pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2026-01 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    No displaced dilepton vertices are observed in 140 fb^-1 of ATLAS Run-2 data, yielding leading 95% CL upper limits on LLP production for Z', gluino, and electroweakino benchmark models.

  3. New Thermal-Relic Targets for sub-GeV Dark Matter Direct Detection

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    For sub-GeV dark matter coupled to anomaly-free U(1) mediators, thermal freeze-out predicts electron-recoil cross sections that are already excluded for electrophilic mediators but still viable and discoverable for el...

  4. Reviving $Z^\prime$ Portal Dark Matter with Conversion Mechanism

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In a U(1)_{B-L} Z' portal model with two nearly degenerate dark fermions, the conversion mechanism can produce the observed dark matter relic density while evading current collider and direct-detection constraints.
