This study explores manifestations of Dark Matter (DM) in multi-top quark events at the LHC. Within a simplified model, we analyze both the associated production of a scalar DM mediator with top quarks and its resonant production in multi-top final states. A comparison of differential cross sections for key observables in three- and four-top processes reveals significant deviations from Standard Model predictions. The results highlight the limited feasibility of associated production channels, while resonant DM mediator production offers a realistic discovery potential. Overall, the analysis confirms that multi-top final states are sensitive probes for Dark Matter.
