Corrigendum to “Search for dijet resonances in proton–proton collisions at √s = 13 TeV and constraints on dark matter and other models”

Abstract

This corrigendum refers to an error in the CMS excluded re-gions in the scattering of dark matter (DM) particles on nucleons as a function of the DM mass (mDM) in Ref. [1]. A translation for-mula, used to relate the DM-nucleon interaction cross section to the mass of the dark matter mediator, neglected a dependence on mDMby using the nucleon mass in place of the reduced mass of the DM-nucleon system. The excluded range in the DM-nucleon in-teraction cross section in Fig. 5 of Ref. [1] was incor rectly shown as being independent of mDMat low values of mass, roughly below DOI of original article: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2017.02.012.E-mail address: cms-publication-committee-chair@cern.ch.40 GeV. The correct CMS excluded region for mDM> 1GeV, where the translation formula is reliable, is presented here in Fig. 1, which replaces Fig. 5 of Ref
