abstract
FASER, ForwArd Search ExpeRiment at the LHC, has been proposed as a small, very far forward detector to discover new, light, weakly-coupled particles. Previous work showed that with a total volume of just $\sim 0.1 - 1~\rm{m}^3$, FASER can discover dark photons in a large swath of currently unconstrained parameter space, extending the discovery reach of the LHC program. Here we explore FASER's discovery prospects for dark Higgs bosons. These scalar particles are an interesting foil for dark photons, as they probe a different renormalizable portal interaction and are produced dominantly through $B$ and $K$ meson decays, rather than pion decays, leading to less collimated signals. Nevertheless, we find that FASER is also a highly sensitive probe of dark Higgs bosons with significant discovery prospects that are comparable to, and complementary to, much larger proposed experiments.

Projections indicate the FPF at FCC-hh can extend reach for light long-lived heavy neutrinos and Z' bosons in chiral U(1) models beyond existing experiments via meson decays and bremsstrahlung.
Radiative electroweak symmetry breaking with a logarithmic potential yields analytical vacuum solutions, four thermal history patterns, and supercooled FOPT gravitational waves whose signals combined with collider data can probe conformal scales to 10^5-10^8 GeV.
Hybrid string-bounded domain wall networks from sequential U(1)_F and Z2 symmetry breaking generate a GW spectrum with a unique low-frequency slope that future detectors can observe and an MLP surrogate can characterize for fast SNR inference.
Gravity-mediated production of scalar and vector dark radiation yields Planck 2018 constraints on reheating temperature T_RH and background equation of state w_Φ, with comparisons to right-handed neutrinos, ALPs, and a generic spin-2 mediator.
