# Displaced Vertices from Pseudo-Dirac Dark Matter

## TL;DR

This paper explores pseudo-Dirac dark matter models that produce displaced vertices at the LHC, highlighting their potential for detection and the interplay with monojet searches, supported by a detailed analysis of current and future bounds.

## Contribution

It provides a comprehensive analysis of displaced vertices from pseudo-Dirac dark matter, illustrating detection techniques and the complementarity with monojet searches.

## Key findings

- Pseudo-Dirac dark matter can produce observable displaced vertices.
- Current bounds constrain the parameter space of the model.
- Future collider searches have significant discovery potential.

## Abstract

Displaced vertices are relatively unusual signatures for dark matter searches at the LHC. We revisit the model of pseudo-Dirac dark matter (pDDM), which can accommodate the correct relic density, evade direct detection constraints, and generically provide observable collider signatures in the form of displaced vertices. We use this model as a benchmark to illustrate the general techniques involved in the analysis, the complementarity between monojet and displaced vertex searches, and provide a comprehensive study of the current bounds and prospective reach.
