v5 v6 5 5 NOTE: FOR COMPILATION WITH FEYNRULES 2.3.31, USE v5 (see below) 6 6 7 A very simple extension of the standard model involves adding a "dark" U(1) gauge group that is broken by a dark higgs vev. The "dark vector" ZD can then kinetically mix with the U(1)B gauge boson, and the "dark higgs" S (or hS) can mix with the SM doublet higgs via the higgs portal |H| 2|S|2operator. (For a more complete definition see here.) This can induce a variety of exotic higgs decays like h → Z ZD (if kinetic mixing dominates) h → ZD ZD (if higgs mixing dominates) h → S S (if higgs mixing dominates)7 A very simple extension of the standard model involves adding a "dark" U(1) gauge group that is broken by a dark higgs vev.

Cascades like h → S S → ZDZDZDZD are also possible, giving 8 lepton final states. … … 15 15 To facilitate experimental study of these interesting channels we have constructed a Madgraph5 model to implement this SM extension. 16 16 17 The model is constructed using FeynRules 2.0.23. It is originally based on the H AHMModel (https://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/wiki/HiddenAbelianHiggsModel), but has been extensively modified to correct typos and implement self-consistent derivation of all mixing angles from MZ, MZD, Mh, MhS mass eigenvalue inputs go beyond the small-mixing-approximation adopt a definition of mixing angles so that, for small higgs/kinetic mixing << 1, the corresponding mixing angles will also be << 1 regardless of whether the h/Z is heavier or lighter than hS/ZD, and self-consistently modify SM relations that result from Z-ZD mixing in two different ways (shift W-mass or Weinberg angle) It has also been combined with the Higgs Effective Theory Model (https://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/wiki/HiggsEffectiveTheory) to add the effective hgg and hγγ operators.17 The model is constructed using FeynRules 2.0.23.
