Rare Higgs decays into a pair of heavy vector quarkonia, $h\to VV$ ($V=J/\Psi$, $\Upsilon$ etc.), have been investigated in the standard model. Different from the past literature in which these decays are thought to be only dominated by the…

We consider a hidden sector dark matter, where a singlet fermion is a cold dark matter and a real singlet scalar boson $S$ is a messenger between the SM and the hidden sectors. This singlet scalar will mix with the SM Higgs boson $h$, and…

We investigate the interactions of a light scalar with the Higgs boson and second-generation fermions, which trigger new rare decays of the Higgs boson into $4\mu$, $2\mu 2\gamma$, $6\mu$ and $4\mu 2j$. We recast current LHC searches to…

We outline the phenomenology of the "dark" $Z$, denoted by $Z_d$, which is a generalization of the "dark" photon hypothesis. Whereas the dark photon interacts with the Standard Model through kinetic mixing, $Z_d$ is assumed also to have…
