abstract
It is very easy to write down models in which long-lived particles decaying to standard model states are pair-produced via Higgs decays, resulting in the signature of approximately back-to-back pairs of displaced narrow hadronic jets and/or lepton jets at the LHC. The LHC collaborations have already searched for such signatures with no observed excess. This paper describes a Monte Carlo method to reinterpret the searches. The method relies on (ideally multidimensional) efficiency tables, thus we implore collaborations to include them in any future work. Exclusion regions in mixing-mass parameter space are presented which constrain portal models.

Freeze-Twin Dark Matter
Twin electrons and positrons, frozen in via a massive twin photon, can be the dark matter in mirror twin Higgs models with asymmetric reheating, with the required kinetic mixing matching loop-level expectations.
