Description
Strongly interacting dark sectors, colloquially referred to as dark-QCD, is becoming increasingly popular in the collider community, primarily because of the rich phenomenology and the novel signatures it offers. The author pioneered the first search for semi-visible jets in ATLAS, and is following that up with multiple studies focussing on other final states, new generator setups to simulate the signals (WiP), new discriminating observables, setting constraints on these models based on existing results and a novel use of anomaly detection algorithms to aid finding these signatures. In the presentation, the lessons learnt from the ATLAS result will be discussed, and these work-in-progress results on model development, constraints of the models, as well anomaly detection method being proposed will be presented, essentially summarising the state-of-the art in the semi-visible jets.
