Dark matter pair production in the MSSM and in simplified dark matter models at the LHC

Abstract We study the quantitative features of dark matter pair production at the LHC in simplified dark matter models and in the MSSM taking next-to-leading order QCD corrections and parton-shower effects fully into account. Among the large space of dark matter models, we focus on two particular mo...
