Description

The astrophysical evidence for dark matter provides compelling argument for the existence of physics beyond the Standard Model. Collider experiments such as ATLAS offer the ability to probe high energy scales and characterise the interaction with dark matter, and provide complementarity probes to direct and indirect dark matter detection searches and dedicated low mass dark matter experiments. LHC Run 2 (2015-2018) provided a hugely sensitive dataset for a wide range of dark matter searches at ATLAS. An overview of these search results will be presented, before a brief outlook to Run-3 and the high-luminosity LHC.
