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].
