Collider signatures of coannihilating dark matter in light of the B-physics anomalies

Abstract Motivated by UV explanations of the B-physics anomalies, we study a dark sector containing a Majorana dark matter candidate and a coloured coannihilation partner, connected to the Standard Model predominantly via a U 1 vector leptoquark. A TeV scale U 1 leptoquark, which couples mostly to t...
