(2017). Search for dark matter in association with a Higgs boson decaying to b-quarks in pp collisions at √s=13TeV with the ATLAS detector. Physics Letters B, 765, 11-31. DOI: 10.1016/j.physletb.2016.11.035https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2016.11.035http://hdl.handle.net/1828/11656A search for dark matter pair production in association with a Higgs boson decaying to a pair of bottom quarks is presented, using 3.2 fb(-1) of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The decay of the Higgs boson is reconstructed as a high-momentum b (b) over bar system with either a pair of small-radius jets, or a single large-radius jet with substructure. The observed data are found to be consistent with the expected backgrounds. Results are interpreted using a simplified model with a gauge boson mediating the interaction between dark matter and the Standard Model as well as a two-Higgs-doublet model containing an additional Z' boson which decays to a Standard Model Higgs boson and a new pseudoscalar Higgs boson, the latter decaying into a pair of dark matter particles.enArticleDepartment of Physics and Astronomy
