Long-lived Dark Higgs and Inelastic Dark Matter at Belle II

Abstract

Inelastic dark matter is an interesting scenario for light thermal dark matter which is fully consistent with all cosmological probes as well as direct and indirect dark matter detection. The required mass splitting between dark matter ${\chi }_1$ and its heavier twin ${\chi }_2$ is naturally induced by a dark Higgs field which also provides a simple mechanism to give mass to the dark photon $A^{\prime }$ present in the setup. The corresponding dark Higgs boson $h^{\prime }$ is naturally the lightest dark sector state and therefore decays into Standard Model particles via Higgs mixing. In this work we study signatures with displaced vertices and missing momentum at Belle II, arising from dark Higgs particles produced in association with dark matter. We find that Belle II can be very sensitive to this scenario, in particular if a displaced vertex trigger is available in the near future.
