Natural cancellation of powerlike divergences in the SM by dark matter through gauged Higgs portal

TL;DR

This paper proposes that dark matter sectors with gauged Higgs fields can naturally cancel powerlike divergences in the Standard Model, linking vacuum energy issues with dark sector physics.

Contribution

It introduces a model where multiple dark Higgs sectors cancel divergences in the Higgs mass and cosmological constant, suggesting five hidden sectors with masses comparable to SM particles.

Findings

Number of dark Higgs sectors estimated to be five.

Dark boson masses may be similar to Standard Model bosons.

A new picture of the Standard Model with additional dark sectors emerges.

Abstract

We discuss the connection between the vacuum energy problem and the number of dark matter sectors and its relation to the cancellation of quadratic divergences both in the cosmological constant and simultaneously in the polarization tensor renormalizing the Higgs meson mass. In the absence of global supersymmetry, the cancellations of quartic and quadratic divergences call for a dark Higgs scalar sector. We estimate the number of hidden(dark) gauged Higgs field sectors to be equal to five. The masses of dark bosons may be of the order of the Standard Model boson masses. Then the following picture of the Standard Model emerges: 6 leptons and 6 quarks are accompanied by 6 boson sectors, only one of the latter is realized in the conventional Standard Model.
