Search for dark matter and unparticles in events with a Z boson and missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV

A search for dark matter and unparticle production at the LHC has been performed using events containing two charged leptons (electrons or muons), consistent with the decay of a Z boson, and large missing transverse momentum. This study is based on data collected with the CMS detector in 2015, co...
