We review a class of models in which the Standard Model (SM) is augmented by vector-like leptons: one doublet and a singlet, which are odd under an unbroken discrete $Z_2$ symmetry. As a result, the neutral component of these additional…
The Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC) has been designed to push the field of deep inelastic scattering to the high energy and intensity frontier using an intense electron beam with a proton beam from the High Luminosity-Large Hadron…
We analyse the testability of the type II radiative seesaw in which neutrino mass and dark matter (DM) are related at one-loop level. Under the constraints from DM relic density, direct and indirect detection, and invisible Higgs decays, we…
Dark matter (DM) is currently searched for with a variety of detection strategies. Accelerator searches are particularly promising, but even if Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs) are found at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), it…
We introduce a 3-Higgs Doublet Model (3HDM) with two Inert (or dark) scalar doublets and an active Higgs one, hence termed I(2+1)HDM, in the presence of a discrete $Z_3$ symmetry acting upon the three doublet fields. We show that such a…
We investigate a WIMP dark matter (DM) candidate in the form of a singlino-dominated lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) within the $Z_3$-symmetric Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (NMSSM). This framework gives rise to…
The Inert Doublet Model is one of the simplest and most versatile scenarios for physics beyond the Standard Model. In this work, we examine the prospects for detecting the additional fields of this model at the LHC in the dilepton channel.…
The dynamics and detection possibility of a pseudo-FIMP (pFIMP) dark matter (DM) in the presence of a thermal DM have been studied in different contexts. The pFIMP phenomenology largely depends on the WIMP-like partner DM, as pFIMP…
Clear methods to differentiate between decaying and annihilating dark matter (DM) scenarios are still by and large unavailable. In this note, we study the potential astrophysical signatures of a new class of hidden sector decaying DM…
We study the possible signals at LHC of the minimal models of decaying dark matter. Those models are characterized by the fact that DM interacts with SM particles through renormalizable coupling with an additional heavier charged state.…
A recent study of gamma-ray data from the Galactic Center motivates the investigation of light (~7-10 GeV) particle dark matter models featuring tau lepton pairs as dominant annihilation final state. The Lepton-Specific two-Higgs-doublet…
The inert two-Higgs doublet model (IDM) is a compelling framework for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) linked to electroweak symmetry breaking. It can account for both the Galactic Center gamma-ray excess (GCE) and the AMS-02…
Dark Matter (DM) comprising particles in the mass range of a few MeV to GeV is waiting to be explored, given the many theoretical models accommodating cosmological abundance. We hereby propose an experiment with the LHC proton beam of 7 TeV…
As sequel to a recent paper we examine the phenomenology of the full electroweakino sector of the pMSSM without invoking the adhoc but often employed assumption that the heavier ones are decoupled. We identify several generic models which…
We study self-interacting dark matter signatures at the Large Hadron Collider. A light dark photon, mediating dark matter self-interactions, can bind dark matter particles to form a bound state when they are produced via a heavy…
In the context of a simplified leptophilic Dark Matter (DM) scenario where the mediator is a new charged fermion carrying leptonic quantum number and the DM candidate is either scalar or vector, the complementarity of different bounds is…
The search for and potential identification of dark matter (DM) will require a simultaneous, multi-pronged approach with important roles to be played by the LHC, both direct and indirect DM detection experiments and, eventually, the ILC.…
We study a new physics scenario with two inert and one active scalar doublets, hence a 3-Higgs Doublet Model (3HDM). We impose a $Z_2 \times Z'_2$ symmetry onto such a 3HDM with one inert doublet odd under the $Z_2$ transformation and the…
We consider a search strategy for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider which focuses on the signature of many jets and missing transverse energy, but no charged leptons. We show that this signature can be useful in probing a wide class…
We propose a two-component dark matter (DM) scenario by extending the Standard Model with two additional $SU(2)_L$ doublets, one scalar, and another fermion. To ensure the stability of the DM components, we impose a global $Z_2 \times…
