Prospects for collider searches for dark matter with heavy quarks

Understand

We present projections for future collider searches for dark matter produced in association with bottom or top quarks.

• Such production channels give rise to final states with missing transverse energy and one or more b-jets.
• Limits are given assuming an effective scalar operator coupling dark matter to quarks, where the dedicated analysis discussed here improves significantly over a generic monojet analysis.
• We give updated results for an anticipated high-luminosity LHC run at 14 TeV and for a 33 TeV hadron collider.
