Photonic portal to the hidden sector and the electroweak symmetry

TL;DR

This paper proposes a theoretical extension where a weak photon interaction with the hidden sector is integrated into the electroweak symmetry framework, suggesting a new interaction pathway between hidden and Standard-Model sectors.

Contribution

It introduces a novel weak interaction model linking the photonic portal to the electroweak symmetry, expanding the Standard-Model's scope to include hidden sector interactions.

Findings

Hypothetical weak interaction between hidden and Standard-Model sectors.

Embedding of photonic portal within electroweak symmetry.

Potential implications for dark matter interactions.

Abstract

A weak photon interaction with the hidden sector of the Universe, introduced recently to realize a "photonic portal", (to such a hypothetic sector responsible for cold dark matter), is conjectured to be embedded in a more extended weak interaction displaying electroweak symmetry spontaneously broken by the Standard-Model Higgs mechanism. This is a hypothetic new weak interaction between hidden and Standard-Model sectors of the Universe, appearing in our model in addition to the conventional electroweak interaction acting in the Standard-Model sector.
