Theory, phenomenology, and experimental avenues for dark showers: a Snowmass 2021 report

G Albouy, J Barron, H Beauchesne… - The European Physical …, 2022 - Springer
In this work, we consider the case of a strongly coupled dark/hidden sector, which extends
the Standard Model (SM) by adding an additional non-Abelian gauge group. These …

Jet substructure from dark sector showers

T Cohen, J Doss, M Freytsis - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We examine the robustness of collider phenomenology predictions for a dark
sector scenario with QCD-like properties. Pair production of dark quarks at the LHC can …

Perturbative benchmark models for a dark shower search program

S Knapen, J Shelton, D Xu - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
We provide five benchmark hidden valley models with perturbative parton showers, which
span a wide range of dark shower phenomenology. We consider production through an s …

LHC searches for dark sector showers

T Cohen, M Lisanti, HK Lou… - Journal of High Energy …, 2017 - Springer
A bstract This paper proposes a new search program for dark sector parton showers at the
Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These signatures arise in theories characterized by strong …

Dark sector glueballs at the LHC

A Batz, T Cohen, D Curtin, C Gemmell… - Journal of High Energy …, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We study confining dark sectors where the lightest hadrons are glueballs. Such
models can provide viable dark matter candidates and appear in some neutral naturalness …

Simulating glueball production in QCD

D Curtin, C Gemmell, CB Verhaaren - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
In an SU (N c) gauge theory with zero light quark flavors N f= 0, the only hadronic states that
form below the confinement scale are composite gluon states called glueballs. These …

Strongly interacting dark sectors in the early Universe and at the LHC through a simplified portal

E Bernreuther, F Kahlhoefer, M Krämer… - Journal of High Energy …, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We study the cosmology and LHC phenomenology of a consistent strongly
interacting dark sector coupled to Standard Model particles through a generic vector …

Exploring jet substructure in semi-visible jets

D Kar, S Sinha - SciPost Physics, 2021 - scipost.org
Semi-visible jets arise in strongly interacting dark sectors, where parton evolution includes
dark sector emissions, resulting in jets overlapping with missing transverse momentum. The …

Triggering on emerging jets

D Linthorne, D Stolarski - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
Confining dark sectors at the GeV scale can lead to novel collider signatures including those
termed emerging jets with large numbers of displaced vertices. The triggers at the LHC …

Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier: The landscape of cosmic-ray and high-energy photon probes of particle dark matter

T Aramaki, M Boezio, J Buckley, E Bulbul… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
This white paper discusses the current landscape and prospects for experiments sensitive to
particle dark matter processes producing photons and cosmic rays. Much of the gamma-ray …
