abstract
We review scenarios in which the particles that account for the Dark Matter (DM) in the Universe interact only through their couplings with the Higgs sector of the theory, the so-called Higgs-portal models. In a first step, we use a general and model-independent approach in which the DM particles are singlets with spin $0,\frac12$ or $1$, and assume a minimal Higgs sector with the presence of only the Standard Model (SM) Higgs particle observed at the LHC. In a second step, we discuss non-minimal scenarios in which the spin-$\frac12$ DM particle is accompanied by additional lepton partners and consider several possibilities like sequential, singlet-doublet and vector-like leptons. In a third step, we examine the case in which it is the Higgs sector of the theory which is enlarged either by a singlet scalar or pseudoscalar field, an additional two Higgs doublet field or by both; in this case, the matter content is also extended in several ways. Finally, we investigate the case of supersymmetric extensions of the SM with neutralino DM, focusing on the possibility that the latter couples mainly to the neutral Higgs particles of the model which then serve as the main portals for DM phenomenology. In all these scenarios, we summarize and update the present constraints and future prospects from the collider physics perspective, namely from the determination of the SM Higgs properties at the LHC and the search for its invisible decays into DM, and the search for heavier Higgs bosons and the DM companion particles at high-energy colliders. We then compare these results with the constraints and prospects obtained from the cosmological relic abundance as well as from direct and indirect DM searches in astroparticle physics experiments. The complementarity of collider and astroparticle DM searches is investigated in all the considered models.

Particle production from bubble collisions
Heavy particles are produced in bubble-wall collisions by on-shell partonic scatterings, not by off-shell decay of the classical field, so the earlier rates and their phenomenological signals are parametrically overestimated.

Singlet-doublet dark matter beyond freeze-out
In the small-coupling limit of the singlet-doublet dark matter model, the relic density is set by co-scattering, freeze-in, or SuperWIMP decays rather than ordinary freeze-out, and the observable signals move from dir...

Mixed Freeze-In and Freeze-Out Histories and Dark-Sector Decays in a $\mathbb{Z}_4$ Two-Scalar Model
A Z4 two-scalar Higgs-portal dark matter model stays viable under LZ exclusions when one or both scalars are produced via freeze-in, and late dark-sector decays generate SuperWIMP, injection-assisted freeze-out, and s...

Minimal Dark Matter: Generalized Framework and Direct-Detection Sensitivity
For Higgs-coupled minimal dark matter, the 3M2D, 5M4D, and 7M6D combinations can have direct-detection cross sections below the neutrino floor, so next-generation direct detection cannot fully exclude the model.

Search for an exotic decay of the 125 GeV Higgs boson to a pair of light pseudoscalars in the final state of two muons and two c-quarks in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13\;\text{TeV}$ with CMS Open Data
The first search for h->aa->mumu cc in LHC data sets 95% CL upper limits down to 3.3e-4 on sigma/sigma_SM times the branching fraction, excluding new parameter space in 2HDM+S models.

Feasibility to probe the dynamical scotogenic model at the LHC
In the dynamical scotogenic model, Drell-Yan production of fermionic dark matter could be probed at the HL-LHC for masses 100-220 GeV; scalar DM and VBF channels are unlikely to be observable.

Singlet-doublet dark matter revisited
The singlet-doublet dark matter model now passes direct detection limits only with small Yukawa couplings or near blind spots, with coannihilation and a compressed spectrum needed to match the observed relic density.
