Description

The LHC Dark Shower Task Force (TF) is a cross-working-groups TF within the LHC BSM WG.

Its main goals are to:

Establish common benchmarks for LHC Run 3 experimental results
Further develop dark shower models and simulations

In this plenary meeting we will review the status of the TF since the workshop celebrated in October 2025 and discuss the next steps.
