Investigating vector-like leptons decaying into an electron and missing transverse energy in e$^{+}$ e$^{-}$ collisions with $\sqrt{s} = 500$ GeV at the ILC

This analysis focuses on probing the lepton portal dark matter using Monte Carlo simulated samples from electron-positron collisions at the International Linear Collider (ILC) of 500 GeV center of mass energy with an integrated luminosity of 1000 fb$^{-1}$. The study examines a benchmark scenario where the dark matter is a scalar particle produced as a daughter particle of the vector-like lepton. The signal topology consists of missing transverse energy and dilepton. If no new physics is discovered,the study sets 95\% confidence level exclusion limits on the mass of vector-like leptons.

Search for the production of dark fermion candidates in association with heavy neutral gauge boson decaying to dimuon in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV using the CMS open data

This analysis shows a search for dark fermion particles produced in association with a heavy neutral gauge boson (Z$^{\prime}$). The studied events topology are dimuon and a large missing transverse momentum. %We considered the muonic decay of Z$^{\prime}$. The analyzed data were the Open Data collected by the CMS detector in proton-proton collisions at the LHC in 2012 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 11.6 fb$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s} = $ 8 TeV. One benchmark scenario the light vector was used for interpreting the data, based on a simplified model so called the mono-Z$^{\prime}$ model. No evidence of dark fermion candidates was found, 95$\%$ confidence level limits have been set on both Z$^{\prime}$ and dark fermion masses.
