We discuss a novel signature of dark matter production at the LHC resulting from emission an additional Higgs boson in sector. The presence such is motivated simultaneously by need to generate masses particles sector and possibility relax constraints relic abundance opening up new annihilation channel. If decays into Standard Model states via small mixing with boson, one obtains characteristic large-radius jets association missing transverse momentum that can be used efficiently discriminate...

A bstract Searches for dark matter produced via scalar resonances in final states consisting of Standard Model (SM) particles and missing transverse momentum are high relevance at the LHC. Motivated by dark-matter portal models, most existing searches optimized unbalanced decay topologies which recoils against visible SM particles. In this work, we show that also sensitive to a wider class characterize recently presented simplified model framework. We point out models with balanced topology...

This note provides a comprehensive overview of tools for predicting observables in the Standard Model effective field theory (SMEFT) at both tree level and one loop using event generators. We evaluate three primary methodologies–event reweighting, separate simulation squared matrix elements, full SMEFT process simulation–focusing on their statistical performance, computational efficiency, potential biases. Each approach is assessed terms its accuracy, highlighting trade-offs between...
