Abstract
High-energy colliders constitute a potential running mode of future colliders such as the ILC and CLIC. We study the sensitivity of a high-energy collider to the Higgs portal scenario to a hidden sector above the invisible Higgs decay threshold. We show that such collisions could allow to probe the existence of dark sectors through the Higgs portal comparatively more precisely than any other planned collider facility, from the unique combination of sizable cross-section with clean final state and collider environment. In addition, this search could cover the singlet Higgs portal parameter space yielding a first-order electroweak phase transition in the early Universe.
