I discuss how the Large Hadron Collider era should broaden our view of particle physics research, and apply this thinking to the case of Hidden Worlds. I focus on one of the simplest representative cases of a Hidden World, and detail the rich implications it has for LHC physics, including universal suppression of Higgs boson production, trans-TeV heavy Higgs boson signatures, heavy-to-light Higgs boson decays, weakly coupled exotic gauge bosons, and Higgs boson decays to four fermions via light exotic gauge bosons. Some signatures may be accessible in the very early stages of collider operation, whereas others motivate a later high-lumonosity upgrade.

  1. The bremsstrahlung-like production of the massive spin-2 dark matter mediator

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    E137 beam-dump data exclude spin-2 dark matter mediator couplings from about 8e-8 to 1e-5 per GeV for mediator masses 100 to 800 MeV, assuming equal electron and photon couplings.

  2. Searching for Dark Photons at the LHeC and FCC-he

    hep-ph 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A projection using WHIZARD simulations shows LHeC and FCC-he could exclude kinetically mixed dark photons between 10 MeV and 0.7 GeV with epsilon as low as about 1e-5.

  3. Long-lived sterile neutrinos from axionlike particles at the Super Tau-Charm Facility

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    STCF can reach |V_eN|^2 values one to two orders of magnitude below current bounds for heavy neutral leptons via displaced-vertex searches from ALP decays in D-meson production.

  4. GeV-scale thermal dark matter from dark photons: tightly constrained, yet allowed

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In a dark-photon-mediated Dirac fermionic DM model, only narrow resonant regions with small dark-sector coupling allow the candidate to saturate the full relic density while evading current direct and indirect detecti...

  5. Recasting the ATLAS search for displaced hadronic jets in the ATLAS calorimeter with additional jets or leptons using surrogate models

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    An independent check shows ATLAS's surrogate models reproduce official long-lived-particle search efficiencies within about 25% for most benchmark scenarios, with a few factor-of-two outliers.

  6. Notes on recasting the ATLAS-EXOT-2019-23 search for pairs of displaced hadronic jets in the ATLAS calorimeter

    hep-ph 2024-12 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    An independent validation of the ATLAS EXOT-2019-23 reinterpretation map shows it works well for high-pT benchmarks but fails for low-mass and short-lifetime signals.

  7. Probing the dark axion portal via $J/\psi$ decays at BESIII and STCF

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Monte Carlo studies show BESIII data already reaches previously unexplored regions of the dark axion portal via J/ψ → a γ' decays, with STCF projected to improve sensitivity by about an order of magnitude.
