Description

Results of searches for both prompt and non-prompt leptonic decays of new
dark sector particles in proton-proton collisions with the ATLAS detector
are presented. Searches that encompass a wide range of new particle masses,
lifetimes and degrees of collimation of leptonic decay products are discussed.
The results are interpreted in the context of models containing new gauge
bosons (dark photons or dark Z bosons) that give rise to lepton-jets or to
more general displaced leptonic signatures that could be a viable dark matter
candidate.
