Making the most of Yukawa couplings: searching for Dark Matter accompanied by heavy quarks — •Danyer Perez Adan — Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron (DESY), Hamburg, Germany

Among the foremost alternatives to unravel the mysteries of Dark Matter (DM) is the search for invisible particles at colliders. The main experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are engaged in an intense search program to identify any evidence of non-standard unbalanced transverse momentum. Should this DM hunt be successful and the manifestation consistent with any of the various theoretical scenarios, it could be a first indication of the particle-like nature of this unknown matter. A large number of these models propose that the coupling between the DM mediators and the Standard Model (SM) fermions is of Yukawa type, thus favoring at the LHC the associated production of DM with top-quarks or b-quarks. Such consideration turns out to be one of the leading motivations for many of the analyses that have a particular focus on heavy flavour fermions accompanying the DM particles in the final state. The most recent experimental efforts and some of the prospects in this direction will be the primary topic of this talk.
