Description
Recent studies in particle physics have shown that there are myriad possibilities for strong dark sector studies at the LHC. One signature is the case of semi-visible jets, where parton evolution includes dark sector emissions, resulting in jets overlapping with missing transverse energy. Owing to the unusual MET-along-the-jet event topology, this is yet an unexplored domain within ATLAS. In this talk, I will discuss my ongoing ATLAS search, focussing on the performance and optimisation challenges associated with such a unique final state, specifically looking at the angle difference between the hardest jet and the missing transverse energy, and targeting a cut-and-count strategy.
