TI  - New sensitivity of LHC measurements to composite dark matter models
N2  - We present sensitivity of LHC differential cross-section measurements to
so-called "stealth dark matter" scenarios occurring in an SU(N) dark gauge
group, where constituents are charged under the Standard Model and N=2 or 4.
The low-energy theory contains mesons which can be produced at the LHC, and a
scalar baryon dark matter (DM) candidate which cannot. We evaluate the impact
of LHC measurements on the dark meson masses. Using existing lattice results,
we then connect the LHC explorations to DM phenomenology, in particular
considering direct-detection experiments. We show that current LHC measurements
constrain DM masses in the region of 10 TeV. We discuss potential pathways to
explore these models further at the LHC.
