The Higgs field mass term, being superrenomalizable, has a unique status within the standard model. Through the opening it affords, $SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1)$ singlet fields can have renormalizable couplings to standard model fields. We present examples that are neither grotesque nor unnatural. A possible consequence is to spread the Higgs particle resonance into several weaker ones, or to afford it additional, effectively invisible decay channels.

  1. The DAMSA Experiment

    hep-ex 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    DAMSA proposes an ultra-short baseline accelerator experiment to detect short-lived dark sector messengers by overcoming the sensitivity ceiling of longer-baseline beam dump experiments through a compact detector design.

  2. Probing inelastic sub-GeV dark matter at the DUNE near detector

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    DUNE's ND-LAr can probe sub-GeV inelastic dark matter parameter space consistent with relic abundance via dark Higgs-mediated annihilation, especially at large dark photon-to-DM mass ratios.

  3. Warm dark matter from freeze-in at stronger coupling

    hep-ph 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Warm Higgs portal dark matter from stronger-coupling freeze-in is viable above 50-100 keV with a non-thermal momentum distribution not captured by the standard alpha-beta-gamma parametrization.

  4. Constraints on a Light Singlet Scalar from Combined Exotic Higgs Decays

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Requiring exotic Higgs decays to two or three light singlet scalars not to exceed the SM Higgs width yields cos θ < 0.12-0.13 for m_φ < 40 GeV, with predicted rate limits Γ(h→φφ) < 0.06 MeV and Γ(h→φφφ) < 5×10^{-6} Me...

  5. Track and Vertex Reconstruction with the ATLAS Inner Detector

    physics.ins-det 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    ATLAS Inner Detector track and vertex reconstruction maintains high efficiency, good resolution, and low fake rates for up to 80 simultaneous proton-proton interactions in Run 2 and Run 3 data and simulations.
