Perspectives for an Elko Phenomenology using Monojets at the 14 TeV LHC

TL;DR

This paper investigates the potential to detect Elko fermionic fields, characterized by mass dimension one, at the 14 TeV LHC through monojet signatures with missing energy, considering their coupling with the Higgs field.

Contribution

It introduces a novel phenomenological study of Elko fields at the LHC, including their possible interactions with the Higgs and implications for future research.

Findings

Elko fields could produce detectable monojet signatures at the LHC.

Triple coupling with the Higgs may influence Elko mass and production.

The study outlines future directions for Elko phenomenology.

Abstract

The aim of this work is to explore the possibility to discover a fermionic field with mass dimension one, the Elko field, in the 14 TeV Large Hadron Collider (LHC), in processes with missing energy and one jet. We explore the possibility of a triple coupling with the Higgs field, generating also a contribution to the Elko mass term, and suggest some possibilities for future studies in this field.
