Searching for Dark Matter with the ATLAS detector

The presence of a non-baryonic dark matter component in the Universe is inferred from the observation of its gravitational interaction. If dark matter interacts weakly with the Standard Model it would be produced at the LHC, escaping the detector and leaving a large missing transverse momentum as their signature. The ATLAS detector has developed a broad program to directly search for Dark Matter. The results of recent searches on 13 TeV pp data, giving the details of analysis techniques and improvements used and their interpretation, are presented.
