Abstract
Recent searches for dark matter (DM) produced in association with top quarks from the ATLAS and CMS experiments using data collected between 2015 and 2018 are presented. These comprise searches from both experiments for DM in association with a single top quark; an improved ATLAS search for DM in single lepton t t̄ final states; an ATLAS search stop squarks decaying to a top quark, a charm quark and neutralinos; and a CMS search for DM produced in association with a pair of top quarks or a single top. These analyses feature novel machine learning and advanced background estimation techniques. No statistically significant excess is observed in any of these searches.

Report
Thank you for this nice proceeding. It reads well and seems very complete. However, it exceeds the maximum number of recommended pages (which is 5) by more than a factor of two. I invite the authors to significantly summarize the results to get closer to 5 pages, before a in-depth review is made.
