I present an extension of the Standard Model where baryon number is a local gauge symmetry that is spontaneously broken. In such a setup, anomaly cancellation requires the introduction of new fermion fields, the lightest of which is an attractive dark matter candidate. Dark matter stability is an automatic consequence of the gauge symmetry, and proton decay never occurs even if baryon number...

Signatures of large missing transverse momentum recoiling against jets at the LHC provide powerful probe to strongly produced dark matter (DM), complementary to direct and indirect DM detection experiments. This talk presents recent results on dark matter searches with the ATLAS detector in LHC Run 2, focusing on signatures with jets, photons or hadronically decaying bosons.

The existence of dark matter, indicated by astronomical observations, is one of the main proofs of physics beyond the standard model. Despite its abundance, dark matter has not been directly observed yet. This talk presents several searches for dark matter production in proton-proton collisions at 7, 8, and 13 TeV at the LHC, performed by the CMS collaboration. They are interpreted in terms of...
