| Abstract |
| Cosmological and astrophysical observations indicate that most of the matter in our universe is dark matter (DM). Till now the nature of DM particles remains unknown and cannot be explained within the standard model (SM) of particle physics. Different approaches have been used for dark matter detection through the interaction of DM and SM particles. The search for DM candidates at colliders is performed through their recoil against a SM particle. If the DM particles are produced at the collider, they would escape from the detector and carry away amount of energy after the collision. This amount of "missing" energy is used to infer their existence. Searches for dark matter particle candidates in different final states in CMS experiment are presented. Various final states, topologies and kinematic variables are explored. In this talk, we will focus on the recent CMS results obtained using the full Run-II dataset collected at the LHC. |
