Exploring the Higgs portal
Christoph Englert, Tilman Plehn, Dirk Zerwas, Peter M. Zerwas
TL;DR
This paper investigates the potential of the LHC to discover or explore a hidden sector connected via the Higgs portal, considering models with one or two Higgs bosons within the Standard Model extension.
Contribution
It analyzes the LHC's sensitivity to extended Higgs sectors with one or two Higgs bosons through the Higgs portal, highlighting discovery prospects in various parameter regions.
Findings
LHC can potentially discover one or two Higgs bosons in the extended model.
Sensitivity depends on the parameter space and Higgs boson properties.
The study identifies regions where the Higgs portal signals are detectable.
Abstract
We study the Higgs portal from the Standard-Model to a hidden sector and examine which elements of the extended theory can be discovered and explored at the LHC. Our model includes two Higgs bosons covering parameter regions where the LHC will be sensitive to two, one or none of the particles at typical discovery luminosities for Standard Model Higgs production.
