Researchers have developed a machine learning approach to enhance the detection of dark matter candidates at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This method specifically targets WIMP dark matter within the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM), focusing on scenarios where direct detection signals are suppressed. The ML analysis improves sensitivity to subtle signals from radiatively decaying neutralinos, which present a distinctive collider signature with multiple photons. With 100 fb^{-1} of data at 14 TeV, the ML approach can achieve a 5σ discovery reach for higgsino masses up to 225 GeV. AI
