Hadronic Mono-$W'$ Probes of Dark Matter at Colliders

Particle collisions at the energy frontier can probe the nature of invisible dark matter via production in association with recoiling visible objects. We propose a new potential production mode, in which dark matter is produced by the decay of a heavy dark Higgs boson radiated from a heavy $W'$ boson. In such a model, motivated by left-right symmetric theories, dark matter would not be pair produced in association with other recoiling objects due to its lack of direct coupling to quarks or gluons. We study the hadronic decay mode via $W'\rightarrow tb$ and estimate the LHC exclusion sensitivity at 95\% confidence level to be $10^2-10^5$ fb for $W'$ boson masses between 250 and 1750 GeV.
