Description
This talk presents results from the ATLAS and CMS experiments on searches for dark matter mediator particles. First, searches targeting new vector bosons decaying into dijet final states are described. Techniques for studying low-mass resonances below the typical threshold for conventional dijet resonance searches are emphasized, including the use of data scouting, online bottom quark tagging, and boosted mediator production due to initial state radiation. Second, more complex models are discussed, including scalar mediators, leptonic decays, and SUSY. Finally, the LHC limits are compared to direct detection results in the context of the mediator simplified models.
