Description
A search for the associated production of dark matter with a Higgs boson which decays into two photons is presented. The search uses data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in 2016, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. Results are interpreted in the context of two dark matter models: a two-Higgs-doublet-Z’ model where the Z’ decays to a pseudoscalar and a standard model-like Higgs Boson and a baryonic Z’ simplified model. A combination of these results with a similar search where the Higgs boson decays to two tau leptons is finally presented.
