abstract = {A search for dark matter (DM) particles produced in association with a hadronically
decaying vector boson is performed using pp collision data at a centre-of-mass energy
of √s = 13TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb-1, recorded by the
ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. This analysis improves on previous searches
for processes with hadronic decays of W and Z bosons in association with large missing
transverse momentum (mono-W/Z searches) due to the larger dataset and further optimization
of the event selection and signal region definitions. In addition to the mono-W/Z
search, the as yet unexplored hypothesis of a new vector boson Z' produced in association
with dark matter is considered (mono-Z' search). No significant excess over the Standard
Model prediction is observed. The results of the mono-W/Z search are interpreted in
terms of limits on invisible Higgs boson decays into dark matter particles, constraints on
the parameter space of the simplified vector-mediator model and generic upper limits on
the visible cross sections for W/Z+DM production. The results of the mono-Z' search are
shown in the framework of several simplified-model scenarios involving DM production in
association with the Z' boson.},
