Abstract

Under current LHC and dark matter constraints, the general NMSSM can have self-interacting dark matter to explain the cosmological small structure. In this scenario, the dark matter is the light singlino-like neutralino (χ\chi) which self-interacts through exchanging the light singlet-like scalars (h1,a1h_1, a_1). These light scalars and neutralinos inevitably interact with the 125 GeV SM-like Higgs boson (hSMh_{SM}), which cause the Higgs exotic decays hSMh1h1,a1a1,χχh_{SM} \to h_1 h_1, a_1 a_1, \chi\chi. We first demonstrate the parameter space required by the explanation of the cosmological small structure and then display the Higgs exotic decays. We find that in such a parameter space the Higgs exotic decays can have branching ratios of a few percent, which should be accessible in the future e+ee^+e^- colliders.
