Search for dark matter in final states with an energetic jet, or a hadronically decaying W or Z boson using $12.9~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of data at $\sqrt{s} = 13~\mathrm{TeV}$

A search for dark matter is performed using events with large missing transverse momentum and one or more energetic jets in a data sample of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13~\mathrm{TeV}$, collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in the first half of 2016. The search includes events in which a hadronically decaying W or Z boson is produced in association with large missing transverse momentum. Results are presented in terms of limits on the dark matter production in association with jets or vector bosons using simplified models, and on the decay of the standard model Higgs boson to invisible particles. Vector and axial-vector mediators with masses up to $1.95~\mathrm{TeV}$ are excluded at $95\%$ confidence level. The exclusion for pseudoscalar (scalar) mediators reaches 430 (100) GeV. The observed (expected) upper limit on the invisible branching fraction of the standard model like Higgs boson is set at $0.44$ ($0.56$) at $95\%$ confidence level.
