Description

Abstract: We present a search for dark matter particles produced in association
with a hadronically decaying W or Z boson. The analysis is performed with
36.5/fb of proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV
recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. With the full 13
TeV dataset and an increased signal acceptance, this result significantly
improves over previous ATLAS searches in the same final state. In the search we
do not observe any significant excess over the Standard Model prediction. The
search results are interpreted in terms of an effective field theory and a
simplified vector-mediator model describing dark matter interactions with
Standard Model particles.
