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 mostly an unexplored domain within ATLAS. In this talk, I will discuss the public results of the first t-channel ATLAS search for semi-visible jets, that focussed on overcoming 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.
