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…
The simplest extension of the standard model consists in adding one singlet scalar field which mixes with the Higgs boson. O(GeV) masses of the new scalar carry strong motivation from relaxion, dark matter and inflation models. The decay of…
We investigate the possibility of detecting dark matter at TeV scale linear colliders in the scenario where the dark matter interacts with standard model particles only via the Higgs boson. In this scenario, the dark matter would be…
We present a novel new method for incorporating dark matter into little Higgs models in a way that can be applied to many existing models without introducing T-parity, while simultaneously alleviating precision constraints arising from…
We investigate the influence of scalar gauge singlets on Higgs signals at a linear collider. These lead to a large invisible decay width of the Higgs. We find that for high luminosities ($500-1000 fb^{-1}$) one can essentially cover the…
Since the current evidence of its existence is revealed only through its gravitational influence, the way dark matter couples to gravity must be then of primary importance. Here, unlike the standard model sector which is typically coupled…
We consider a variant of seesaw mechanism by introducing extra singlet neutrinos and singlet scalar boson, and show how low scale leptogenesis is successfully realized in this scenario. We examine if the newly introduced neutral particles,…
The existence of the dark matter with amount about five times the ordinary matter is now well established experimentally. There are now many candidates for this dark matter. However, dark matter could be just like the ordinary matter in a…
We reconsider Higgs boson invisible decays into Dark Matter in the light of recent Higgs searches at the LHC. Present hints in the CMS and ATLAS data favor a non-standard Higgs boson with approximately 50% invisible branching ratio, and…
We study a simple dark matter model given by two interacting real singlet scalars, with only one of them coupled to the Higgs. The model therefore presents a minimal assisted-freeze-out framework: both scalars contribute to the dark matter…
There is strong evidence in favor of the idea that dark matter is self interacting, with the cross section-to-mass ratio $\sigma / m \sim 1\,\mathrm{cm^2/g} \sim 1\,\mathrm{barn/GeV}$. We show that viable models of dark matter with this…
We study the implications of the Higgs discovery and of recent results from dark matter searches on real singlet scalar dark matter. The phenomenology of the model is defined by only two parameters, the singlet scalar mass $m_S$ and the…
We consider a scalar dark matter model, the SM4+D, consisting of the standard model with four generations (SM4) and a real gauge-singlet scalar called darkon, D, as the weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark-matter (DM) candidate.…
We study production of self-interacting dark matter (DM) during an early matter-dominated phase. As a benchmark scenario, we consider a model where the DM consists of singlet scalar particles coupled to the visible Standard Model (SM)…
The six Higgs doublet model is a minimal extension of the Standard Model that addresses dark matter and gauge coupling unification. Another Higgs doublet in a 5 representation of a discrete symmetry group, such as S_6, is added to the SM.…
Self-interacting dark matter was proposed by Spergel & Steinhardt (2000) to alleviate two conflicts between Cold Dark Matter (CDM) models and observations. Firstly, CDM N-body simulations predict dark matter halo density profiles that…
We study a scale invariant $SU(2)\times U(1)_Y \times U(1)_s$ model which has only dimensionless couplings. The shadow $U(1)_s$ is hidden, and it interacts with the Standard Model (SM) solely through mixing in the scalar sector and kinetic…
One of the main purposes on physics at the International Linear Collider (ILC) is to study the property of dark matter such as its mass, spin, and interactions between the dark matter and particles in the standard model. Among those, the…
One of the simplest viable models for dark matter is an additional neutral scalar, stabilised by a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. Using the GAMBIT package and combining results from four independent samplers, we present Bayesian and frequentist…
This work considers an extension of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs sector by a real, scalar singlet field, including applicability to a dark matter (DM) model with the addition of a Yukawa coupling to a Dirac fermion. The collider signatures…
