Exploring dark matter-gauge boson effective interactions at the current and future colliders

In this work, we investigate the collider constraints on effective interactions between Dark Matter (DM) particles and electroweak gauge bosons in a systematic way. We consider the simplified models in which scalar or Dirac fermion DM candidates only couple to electroweak gauge bosons through high dimensional effective operators. Taking into account the induced DM-quarks and DM-gluons operators from the Renormalization Group Evolution (RGE) running effect, we present comprehensive constraints on effective energy scale $\Lambda$ and Wilson coefficients $C_B(\Lambda),\,C_W(\Lambda)$ from direct detection, indirect detection, and collider searches. In particular, we present the corresponding sensitivity from the Large Hadron Electron Collider (LHeC) and the Future Circular Collider in electron-proton mode (FCC-ep) for the first time, update the mono-$j$ and mono-$\gamma$ search limits at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and derive the new limits at the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC).Comment: 22 pages, 8 figures, version to be published in Chinese Physics
