Could a light Higgs boson illuminate the dark sector?
The paper says
“In many cases, simply preventing these modes from being dominant suffices to set tight model-independent constraints on the masses and couplings of the new light states.”

The paper
Abstract
The impact a new neutral light particle of spin 0, 1/2, 1, or 3/2 could have on the tiny width of a light Higgs boson is systematically analyzed. To this end, we include all the relevant effective interactions, whether renormalizable or not, and review the possible signatures in the Higgs decay modes with missing energy. This includes the fully invisible Higgs boson decay, as well as modes with SM gauge boson or fermions in the final state. In many cases, simply preventing these modes from being dominant suffices to set tight model-independent constraints on the masses and couplings of the new light states.

Spin-3/2 WIMP DM could exist in a renormalizable new-physics model, such as the one proposed in Ref. [ref] .[A well-known example for spin-3/2 DM is the gravitino in supersymmetric theories (some possibilities of gravitino DM have recently been entertained in, e.g., [ref] ), but it is not regarded as a WIMP because it is extremely weakly interacting and hence very hard to detect [ref] .] More model-independently, other analyses on spin-3/2 WIMP DM in recent years [ref] have examined its potential interactions with the SM sector via effective nonrenormalizable operators which involve other new states as well [ref] or only the DM and SM fields [ref] .

It should be noted that compared to the kinetic mixing [ref] , $χB_μνV^μν$, the exclusion region in the $ε_H-m_V$ plane is larger than in the corresponding $χ-m_V$ plane, see Refs. [ref] .
