Description
We present sensitivity of LHC Standard Model (SM) differential cross-section measurements for so-called “stealth dark matter” scenarios occurring in an SU(ND) dark gauge group, where constituents are charged under the SM and ND =2 or 4. The low-energy theory contains mesons which can be produced at the LHC and a scalar baryon dark matter (DM) candidate which cannot. We evaluate the impact of LHC measurements on the dark meson masses. Using existing lattice results, we then connect the LHC explorations to DM phenomenology, in particular considering direct-detection experiments. We show that current LHC measurements constrain DM masses in the 10s of TeV regime. We discuss potential pathways to explore these models further using LHC measurements.
