The Higgs sector of the Standard Model offers a unique probe of the hidden sector. In this work, we explore the possibility of renormalizable Higgs couplings to the hidden sector vector fields which can constitute dark matter (DM). Abelian gauge sectors with minimal field content, necessary to render the gauge fields massive, have a natural Z2 parity. This symmetry ensures stability of the vector fields making them viable dark matter candidates, while evading the usual electroweak

- Higgs Physics at the HL-LHC and HE-LHC (2019, methodology): “1 Minimal Higgs Portal In the minimal Higgs portal model, we impose a quartic interaction of the SM Higgs doublet field H with the DM field, which could be either a scalar (S) [572], a vector (V ) [573] or a fermion ( ) [574] (see Refs.”
- Benchmarks for dark matter searches at the LHC (2014, background): “The case of DM that couples to the SM sector only though interactions with the Higgs boson has been discussed extensively in the literature [65–86].”
- MadDM v.3.0: A comprehensive tool for dark matter studies (2018, background): “[84], the only difference being that the dark matter can couple directly to the W, Z and Higgs bosons and thus requires no new dark sector scalar which would mix with the Higgs.”
- Dark Matter through the Higgs portal (2019, background): “such an extended fermionic sector would be a Dirac heavy neutrino that belongs to an entire vector–like fermion family added to the SM fermionic spectrum [60,77–79,107–109].”
- Beyond the Standard Model Physics at the HL-LHC and HE-LHC (2018, background): “The third category of Higgs portal models is the vector DM model with interaction term between the DM (V ) and the SM Higgs doublet [272] V VμHH †.”
