We investigate a dark sector containing a pair of light non-degenerate scalar particles, with masses in the MeV-GeV range, coupled to the visible sector through heavier mediators. The heaviest dark state is long-lived, and its decays offer…
Sub-GeV light dark matter often requires new light mediators, such as a dark $Z$ boson in the $L_\mu - L_\tau$ gauge theory. We study the search potential for such a $Z^\prime$ boson via the process $\mu e^- \to \mu e^- X$, with $X$…

We suggest a new model of 7 keV right-handed neutrino dark matter inspired by a recent observation of 3.5 keV X-ray line signal in the XMM-Newton observatory. It is difficult to derive the tiny masses with a suitable left-right mixing of…
After the Higgs discovery, the question of whether particles beyond those of the Standard Model exist is more pressing than ever. In this context, the scalar sector is particularly promising, since it lies at the core of the internal…
