Description
A RECAST of an existing ATLAS analysis is used to perform a search for dark matter produced in association with a dark Higgs boson decaying to two b-quarks from pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 13 TeV. RECAST is an analysis reinterpretation framework; since analyses are often sensitive to a range of models, RECAST can be used to constrain the plethora of dark matter models without the significant investment required for a new analysis. In this case, the ATLAS Z’-2HDM Mono-H(bb) analysis at 79.8 fb^-1 integrated luminosity is used, due to the Z’-2HDM model’s similar experimental signature to the dark Higgs model.
