description The presence of a non-baryonic Dark Matter (DM) component in the Universe has been inferred from the observation of its gravitational interaction. If Dark Matter interacts weakly with the Standard Model (SM) it could be produced at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments, escaping the detector and leaving a large missing transverse momentum as its signature. The LHC experiments have developed a broad search program for DM candidates, in signatures with large missing transverse momentum produced in association with other particles (including light and heavy quarks, Z and H bosons, as well as additional heavy scalar particles), direct resonance searches for mediator particles coupling dark matter to the SM, and searches for invisible Higgs decays as would result if the Higgs boson provides a direct portal to dark matter. Searches have also been made for extended or strongly-interacting dark sectors, that can result in long-lived or novel hadronic signatures. A review of recent collider DM searches on 13 TeV proton-proton data, their interplay and interpretations will be presented.
