abstract

The minimal extension of the scalar sector of the standard model contains an additional real scalar field with no gauge quantum numbers. Such a field does not couple to the quarks and leptons directly but rather through its mixing with the standard model Higgs field. We examine the phenomenology of this model focusing on the region of parameter space where the new scalar particle is significantly lighter than the usual Higgs scalar and has small mixing with it. In this region of parameter space most of the properties of the additional scalar particle are independent of the details of the scalar potential. Furthermore the properties of the scalar that is mostly the standard model Higgs can be drastically modified since its dominant branching ratio may be to a pair of the new lighter scalars.

Exploring non-equilibrium effects in sequential freeze-in

hep-ph · 2026-04-16 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

In a two-scalar dark sector, non-equilibrium phase-space evolution during sequential freeze-in alters the dark matter relic abundance by up to an order of magnitude relative to the standard number-density treatment.

Constraining the real scalar singlet extension of the SM

hep-ph · 2026-06-10 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Real scalar singlet extension of SM permits strong first-order EWPT for singlet masses up to ~1 TeV; HL-LHC tests large fraction of space while FCC offers discovery reach.

Exotic Higgs Decays at a Muon Collider

hep-ph · 2026-04-07 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Muon colliders at 3 TeV and 10 TeV can probe branching ratios for h to SS decays in 4b and 2b2μ channels down to 10^{-3}–10^{-5}, improving on HL-LHC projections using machine learning.

Constraints on a Light Singlet Scalar from Combined Exotic Higgs Decays

hep-ph · 2026-04-30 · unverdicted · novelty 3.0

Requiring exotic Higgs decays to two or three light singlet scalars not to exceed the SM Higgs width yields cos θ < 0.12-0.13 for m_φ < 40 GeV, with predicted rate limits Γ(h→φφ) < 0.06 MeV and Γ(h→φφφ) < 5×10^{-6} MeV under stronger mixing bounds.
