The Standard Model of Particle Physics (SM) stands as one of the most profound achievements in modern physics, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding the fundamental building blocks of the universe and their interactions. Within this model, particles are classified into fermions and bosons, with fermions, such as quarks and leptons, constituting matter, while bosons mediate the fundamental forces. From the electromagnetic force governed by photons to the weak and strong nuclear forces mediated by W/Z bosons and gluons, respectively, the Standard Model elegantly encapsulates the dynamics of particle interactions. Yet, despite its remarkable success in describing a wide range of phenomena and its validation through numerous experimental observations, it is still not a complete theory as there are still several unresolved questions. These are some of the most striking open questions of particle physics nowadays and a discovery in any of these topics would constitute a unique breakthrough in our knowledge of the Universe.   I will present several searches aiming at answering the open questions related to the Higgs boson mass and the quest for dark matter performed using data collected by the ATLAS detector at LHC during Run-2.
