We discuss the phenomenology of a dark matter scenario in which we extend the Standard Model by a real scalar particle and a vector-like heavy quark. Such a model can be seen as a simplified version of a composite setup in which the scalar…
In this work we compare the current experimental LHC limits of the 2HDM $+$ scalar and pseudoscalar for the $t \bar{t}$, mono-$Z$ and mono-$h$ signatures and forecast the reach of future LHC upgrades for the mono-$Z$ channel. Furthermore,…
We consider minimal dark matter scenarios featuring momentum-dependent couplings of the dark sector to the Standard Model. We derive constraints from existing LHC searches in the monojet channel, estimate the future LHC sensitivity for an…
Due to its highly suppressed cross section (fermionic) dark matter interacting with the Standard Model via pseudoscalar mediators is expected to be essentially unobservable in direct detection experiments. We consider both a simplified…
We reexamine the simplified dark matter (DM) models with fermionic DM particle and spin-0 mediator. The DM-nucleon scattering cross sections of these models are low-momentum suppressed at tree-level, but receive sizable loop-induced…
We propose and study a purely inelastic scalar dark matter model, where two real scalars-dark matter $\phi_1$ and its excited partner $\phi_2$ interact with the Standard Model via a Higgs portal. After mass diagonalization, only inelastic…
We combine and extend the analyses of effective scalar, vector, Majorana and Dirac fermion Higgs portal models of dark matter (DM), in which DM couples to the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson via an operator of the form…
Stringent limits on the interactions between dark matter (DM) and the standard model can be set by studying how initial-state or final-state particles recoil against missing transverse energy (MET). In this work, we improve, extend and…
This study explores a minimal renormalizable dark matter (DM) model, incorporating a sub-GeV Majorana DM and a singlet scalar particle $\phi$. Using scalar and pseudo-scalar interactions (couplings $c_s$ and $c_p$), we investigate…
A comprehensive analysis of cosmological and collider constraints is presented for three simplified models characterised by a dark matter candidate (real scalar, Majorana fermion and real vector) and a coloured mediator (fermion, scalar and…
A singlet fermion which interacts only with a new singlet scalar provides a viable and minimal scenario that can explain the dark matter. The singlet fermion is the dark matter particle whereas the new scalar mixes with the Higgs boson…
After the observation in 2012 of a new scalar particle closely resembling the Higgs boson of the Standard Model of particle physics, there is a general consensus that there must be Physics Beyond the Standard Model, with present experiments…
We present a hidden Abelian extension of the Standard Model including a complex scalar as a dark matter candidate and a light scalar acting as a long range force carrier between dark matter particles. The Sommerfeld enhanced annihilation…
While many interactions of dark matter (DM) with the standard model (SM) affect direct detection and LHC searches, there are only a few operators generating annihilation of DM into photons. All of these operators, except four of them, give…
We examine a model with a fermionic dark matter candidate having pseudoscalar interaction with the standard model particles where its direct detection elastic scattering cross section at tree level is highly suppressed. We then calculate…
In the framework of an nonuniversal $U(1)'$ extension of the standard model, we propose an scalar candidate for cold dark matter which exhibits interactions with ordinary matter through Higgs and gauge bosons. Using limits from low energy…
Astrophysical and cosmological observations strongly suggest the existence of Dark Matter\,(DM). Experiments at the Large Hadron Collider\,(LHC) have the potential to probe the particle nature of the DM. In the present work, we investigate…
A scalar singlet, coupled to the other particles only through its mixing with the Higgs boson, appears in several motivated extensions of the Standard Model. The prospects for the discovery of a generic singlet at the various stages of the…
We reanalyze the effective field theory approach for the scenario in which the particles that account for the dark matter (DM) in the universe are vector states that interact only or mainly through the Standard Model-like Higgs boson…
The goal of this report is to summarize the current situation and discuss possible search strategies for charged scalars, in non-supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model at the LHC. Such scalars appear in Multi-Higgs-Doublet models…
