Sumario:Experiments at particle colliders, such as the LHC, are used to search for Dark Matter (DM) produced in high-energy collisions of Standard Model (SM) particles. A particular strength of collider searches lies in the fact that they not only could be sensitive to DM production but could even shed light on the nature of the SM-DM interaction. The ATLAS and CMS experiments have developed a broad search programme for DM candidates and their interactions, including resonance searches for mediator particles, which would couple DM to the SM, searches with large missing transverse momentum produced in association with other particles, searches for invisible Higgs boson decays, predicted in models where the Higgs boson acts as a portal to DM, and searches for dark sector particles. The results of recent searches on 13 TeV pp collision data, their interplay and interpretation will be presented.
