Description
The exceptionally accurate Standard Model (SM) theory of fundamental interactions is known to be incomplete. Many new theories extend the SM, trying to solve some of the most compelling puzzles of nature, such as the Dark Matter (DM) enigma. Some simplified models predict the existence of bosons mediating interactions between SM and DM particles. These new force mediators could appear as weakly coupled resonances in the dijet spectrum of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments. Hunts for these signals in the low mass regime are often trigger limited, due to the constraints of data acquisition systems. I will present a technique known as Trigger Level Analysis (TLA) designed to overcome such limitations, enabling to study pp interactions with less energetic final states. This method is used among various experiment at the LHC, I will focus on the recent developments in ATLAS that enhanced the physics reach of TLA.
