contents In this work, we study the $SU(2)_L$ singlet complex scalar extended KSVZ model that, in addition to providing a natural solution to the strong-CP problem, furnishes two components of dark matter that satisfy observer relic density without fine-tuning the model's parameters. A colored vector-like quark (VLQ) is naturally present in the KSVZ axion model, providing a rich dark matter and collider phenomenology. In this extended model, scalar dark matter interacts with the Standard Model up-type quarks (up, charm, top) through VLQ. We explore the possibility of democratic Yukawa interaction of the VLQ with all up-type quarks and scalar dark matter candidate. We also employ next-to-leading order NLO-QCD correction on dominant production channels for VLQ pair production to study a unique search at the LHC, generating a pair of boosted tops with sizeable missing transverse momentum. Such corrections are significant and reduce factorization and renormalization scale uncertainties substantially. The NLO fixed order results are matched with the Pythia8 parton shower. After being pair-produced, each VLQ decays into a dark matter and a top quark. We conducted a multivariate analysis using jet substructure variables of boosted top fatjets with a significant missing transverse momentum signal. This analysis allows us to explore a substantial parameter space of this model at the 14 TeV LHC.
