Abstract

This document outlines the fundamental theory of the Standard Model and the aims and anticipated upgrades of current experimental techniques in high-energy physics. Motivations and requirements for the search for new physics, specifically on searching for dark matter, at the HL-LHC are analyzed and presented. Methodology, constraints, and predicted sensitivity of yields for searching dark matter, based on analyses of simplified models with j+MET, DM+tt,DM+Wt, DM+bb in their final states, are presented.
