The overwhelming evidence for the existence of particle dark matter is a clear hint towards physics beyond the Standard Model and searching for it is a major topic of particle physics in these days. In collider searches simplified models (and effective theories) are widely used as they are a powerful tool to calculate mono-X signatures in a general and mostly model independent way. In addition these approaches allow comparisons with results from direct and indirect detection experiments.
However, for the high energies reached by the LHC those models feature inherent limitations and might miss relevant features of more complex mediated dark sectors. In this talk I will present attempts to extend the used frameworks to be able to consistently describe more phenomena and cover a wide range of theories with more complex dark (or scalar) sectors.
