This corrigendum refers to an error in the CMS excluded regions in the scattering of dark matter (DM) particles on nucleons as a function of the DM mass ([Formula presented]) in Ref. [1]. A translation formula, used to relate the DM-nucleon interaction cross section to the mass of the dark matter mediator, neglected a dependence on [Formula presented] by using the nucleon mass in place of the reduced mass of the DM-nucleon system. The excluded range in the DM-nucleon interaction cross section in Fig. 5 of Ref. [1] was incorrectly shown as being independent of [Formula presented] at low values of mass, roughly below 40 GeV.

Abstract
This corrigendum refers to an error in the CMS excluded regions in the scattering of dark matter (DM) particles on nucleons as a function of the DM mass ([Formula presented]) in Ref. [1]. A translation formula, used to relate the DM-nucleon interaction cross section to the mass of the dark matter mediator, neglected a dependence on [Formula presented] by using the nucleon mass in place of the reduced mass of the DM-nucleon system. The excluded range in the DM-nucleon interaction cross section in Fig. 5 of Ref. [1] was incorrectly shown as being independent of [Formula presented] at low values of mass, roughly below 40 GeV. The correct CMS excluded region for [Formula presented] GeV, where the translation formula is reliable, is presented here in Fig. 1 which replaces Fig. 5 of Ref. [1].I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
