The extraordinary amount of data from the CERN LHC presents a unique opportunity to shed light on the nature of dark matter at unprecedented collision energies. This Report comprehensively reviews the most recent searches with the CMS experiment for particles and interactions belonging to a dark sector and for dark-sector mediators. Models with invisible massive particles are probed by searches for signatures of missing transverse momentum recoiling against visible standard model particles. Searches for mediators are also conducted via fully visible final states. The results of these searches are compared with those obtained from direct-detection experiments. Searches for alternative scenarios predicting more complex dark sectors with multiple new particles and new forces are also presented. Many of these models include long-lived particles, which could manifest themselves with striking unconventional signatures with relatively small amounts of background. Searches for such particles are discussed and their impact on dark-sector scenarios is evaluated. Many results and interpretations have been newly obtained for this Report.}, keywords = {dark matter, interaction (INSPIRE) / transverse momentum, missing-energy (INSPIRE) / gravitation, interaction (INSPIRE) / particle, massive (INSPIRE) / particle, long-lived (INSPIRE) / hidden sector (INSPIRE) / mediation (INSPIRE) / signature (INSPIRE) / CMS (INSPIRE) / direct detection (INSPIRE) / CERN Lab (INSPIRE) / new particle (INSPIRE) / CERN LHC Coll (INSPIRE) / background (INSPIRE)}, cin = {CMS}, cid = {I:(DE-H253)CMS-20120731}, pnm = {611 - Fundamental Particles and Forces (POF4-611) / DFG project 390833306 - EXC 2121: Quantum Universe (390833306) / HIDSS-0002 - DASHH: Data Science in Hamburg - Helmholtz Graduate School for the Structure of Matter $(2019_IVF-HIDSS-0002)$}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-611 / G:(GEPRIS)390833306 / $G:(DE-HGF)2019_IVF-HIDSS-0002$}, experiment = {EXP:(DE-H253)LHC-Exp-CMS-20150101}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)25}, eprint = {2405.13778}, howpublished = {arXiv:2405.13778}, archivePrefix = {arXiv}, SLACcitation = {$\%\%CITATION$ = $arXiv:2405.13778;\%\%$}, doi = {10.3204/PUBDB-2024-01876}, url = {https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/607395}, }
