Abstract
This analysis evaluates the possibility of the search for Dark Matter (DM) particles using events with a Z ′ heavy gauge boson and a large missing transverse momentum at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We consider the muonic decay of Z ′. The analyzed Monte Carlo samples were the Open simulated files produced by the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) collaboration for proton-proton collisions, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of the LHC run-I with 19.7 fb-1 at s 8 TeV. Two scenarios, namely a simplified benchmark scenario, called Dark Higgs, and the effective field theory (EFT) formalism, were used for interpretations. Limits were set on Z ′ dark matter masses, and the cutoff scale of the EFT.
