Search for dark matter in association with a Higgs boson decaying to b-quarks in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

A search for dark matter pair production in association with a Higgs boson decaying to a pair of bottom quarks is presented, using 3.2 fb −1 of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The decay of the Higgs boson is reconstructed as a high-momen...

The observed data are found to be consistent with the expected backgrounds. Results are interpreted using a simplified model with a Z ′ gauge boson mediating the interaction between dark matter and the Standard Model as well as a two-Higgs-doublet model containing an additional Z ′ boson which decays to a Standard Model Higgs boson and a new pseudoscalar Higgs boson, the latter decaying into a pair of dark matter particles. © 2016 The Author(s) 2017 https://bibliotecadigital.exactas.uba.ar/collection/paper/document/paper_03702693_v765_n_p11_Aaboud http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12110/paper_03702693_v765_n_p11_Aaboud
