Probing the Pseudoscalar portal to Dark Matter via $\bar{b}bZ(\to \ell \ell )+E_T/$: From the LHC to the Galactic Centre Excess

Abstract

We propose a new search for Dark Matter at the LHC, characteristic of scenarios beyond the Standard Model with a pseudoscalar portal between the visible and dark sectors. This search, leading to a $\bar{b}bZ(\to \ell \ell )+E_T/$ final state, reaches large regions of parameter space not probed by Dark Matter searches via multi-jet $+E_T/$, searches for new scalars and flavour bounds. We show that this search could be used to test the Dark Matter origin of the gamma ray Galactic Centre excess with LHC Run 2 data.
