Search for dark matter particles produced in W+W events with transverse momentum imbalance in proton-proton collisions at s= 13 TeV with the CMS detector
Abstract: A search for dark matter particles is performed using events with a pair of W bosons and large missing transverse momentum. Candidates are selected by requiring one or two leptons (electrons or muons) from the W boson decays. The analysis is based on proton-proton collision data taken at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb1. No significant excess over the expected standard model background is observed in the semi- and di-leptonic final states of the W+W decay channel. Limits are set on dark matter production in the context of a dark Higgs simplified model, with a dark Higgs mass above the W+W mass threshold.
