Description
Dark matter could have its origin in a new, strongly coupled, dark sector with fermion constituents that form dark analogies to the standard model mesons, and if so, these dark mesons could already have been produced in the 13 TeV proton-proton collisions in the LHC Run 2.
I will present my ongoing search for Dark Mesons in LHC Run 2 data collected with the ATLAS detector, focusing both on the theoretical implications and the specific analysis strategy. Preliminary results suggest that the analysis will be sensitive to a large part of the previously un-probed parameter space of the model.
