Numerous independent astrophysical experiments have observed and measured the influence of the phenomenon named Dark Matter, but its nature is still unknown. If the assumption that Dark Matter is a particle which has a weak coupling to the Standard Model is valid, then collider searches have the ability to search for the production of this new Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP). Any...

Hidden Valley models contain a hidden sector that communicates with the Standard Model via a scalar. The hidden sector phenomenology is unconstrained. It can be as complex or simple as desired, and prompt or long lived. In this case we explore the ATLAS program to search for long lived versions of the Hidden Valley model. The benchmark model is fairly simple, produces two hidden valley pions...
