Abstract:

A search is conducted for dark matter pair-production and for graviton production predicted by the ADD large extra dimensions model in a final state with a photon and missing transverse energy in

\mathrm{p}\mathrm{p}

collisions at

\sqrt{s}=13\,\text{Te\hspace{-.08em}V}

. Data taken by the CMS experiment in 2016 corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 12.9\mbox{\ensuremath{\,\text{fb}^\text{

-

1}}}\xspace is analyzed. A Poisson counting technique is used to assess a potential excess of events with respect to background, estimated through simulation and data-driven methods. No such excess is observed. The results of the searches are interpreted as exclusion limits in the model parameter spaces.

Note:
