The search explores a hypothetical dark sector featuring \u201cdark quarks\u201d that are charged under a confining gauge group and couple to the Standard Model via a new mediator particle.  These dark quarks undergo showering and hadronisation within the dark sector, forming long-lived dark mesons that decay back into Standard Model particles. This results in jets that contain multiple displaced vertices known as emerging jets. The analysis targets events with pairs of emerging jets, produced either through a vector mediator, $Z'$, in the $s$-channel, or a scalar mediator, $\\Phi$, in the $t$-channel. No significant excess over the Standard Model background is observed. Assuming a dark pion proper decay length between 5 mm and 50 mm, $Z'$ mediator masses between 600 GeV and 2550 GeV are excluded for quark and dark quark coupling values of 0.01 and 0.1, respectively. For a quark dark-quark coupling of $0.1$, $\\Phi$ mediator masses between 600 GeV and 1375 GeV are excluded. These results represent the first direct search targeting emerging jet pair production via a $Z'$ mediator, as well as the first study of emerging jet production mediated by a scalar particle exchanged in the $t$-channel.","hasPart":[{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.166334.v1/t1","@type":"Dataset","description":"The 95% CL exclusion limits on $\\sigma(pp \\to Z') \\times \\mathrm{Br}(Z' \\to q_D \\bar{q}_D)$ as a function of $m_{Z'}$ and...","name":"Figure_10a"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.166334.v1/t2","@type":"Dataset","description":"The 95% CL exclusion limits on $\\sigma(pp \\to Z') \\times \\mathrm{Br}(Z' \\to q_D \\bar{q}_D)$ as a function of $m_{Z'}$ and...","name":"Figure_10b"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.166334.v1/t3","@type":"Dataset","description":"The 95% CL exclusion limits on $\\sigma(pp \\rightarrow Z') \\times \\mathrm{Br}(Z' \\rightarrow q_D \\overline{q_D})$ as a function of $m_{Z'}$ for...","name":"Figure_11a"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.166334.v1/t4","@type":"Dataset","description":"The 95% CL exclusion limits on $\\sigma(pp \\rightarrow q_D \\overline{q_D})$ as a function of $m_{\\Phi}$ for $m_{\\pi_D}=10$ GeV and $c\\tau_{\\pi_D}...","name":"Figure_11b"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.166334.v1/t5","@type":"Dataset","description":"The 95% CL exclusion limits on $\\sigma(pp \\rightarrow Z') \\times \\mathrm{Br}(Z' \\rightarrow q_D \\overline{q_D})$ as a function of $c\\tau_{{\\pi_D}}$ for...","name":"Figure_11c"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.166334.v1/t6","@type":"Dataset","description":"The 95% CL exclusion limits on $\\sigma(pp \\rightarrow q_D \\overline{q_D})$ as a function of $c\\tau_{{\\pi_D}}$ for $m_{\\pi_D}=10$ GeV and $m_{\\phi}...","name":"Figure_11d"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.166334.v1/t7","@type":"Dataset","description":"The 95% CL exclusion limits on $\\sigma(pp \\rightarrow Z') \\times \\mathrm{Br}(Z' \\rightarrow q_D \\overline{q_D})$ as a function of $m_{\\pi_D}$ for...","name":"Figure_12a"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.166334.v1/t8","@type":"Dataset","description":"The 95% CL exclusion limits on $\\sigma(pp \\rightarrow q_D \\overline{q_D})$ as a function of $m_{\\pi_D}$ for $m_{\\Phi}=1500$ GeV.","name":"Figure_12b"},{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.166334.v1/t9","@type":"Dataset","description":"Expected contour in the $(g_q,g_{q_D})$ plane for $m_{Z'}=600$ GeV.
