We analyse the signatures at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) of the scotogenic model, when the lightest Z2-odd particle is a singlet fermion and a feebly interacting massive particle (FIMP). We further assume that the singlet fermion constitutes the dark matter and that it is produced in the early Universe via the freeze-in mechanism. The small couplings required to reproduce the observed dark matter abundance translate into decay-lengths for the next-to-lightest Z2-odd particle which can be macroscopic, potentially leading to spectacular signatures at the LHC. We characterize the possible signals of the model according to the spectrum of the Z2-odd particles and we derive, for each of the cases, bounds on the parameters of the model from current searches.

  1. Illuminating sequential freeze-in dark matter with dark photon signal at the CERN SHiP experiment

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Sequential freeze-in dark matter with a dark photon mediator of mass 0.01-10 GeV fixes the dark charge at 1.3e-12 and restricts mixing to 10^{-11} to ~10^{-8}, with SHiP excluding most of this range except near 10^{-11}.
