Higgs portal vector dark matter interpretation: review of Effective Field Theory approach and ultraviolet complete models

Abstract

A review of the Higgs portal-vector dark matter interpretation of the spin-independent dark-matter nucleon elastic scattering cross section is presented, where the invisible Higgs decay width measured at the LHC is used. Effective Field Theory and ultraviolet complete models are discussed. LHC interpretations show only the scalar and Majorana dark-matter scenarios; we propose to include interpretation for vector dark matter in the EFT and UV completions theoretical framework. In addition, our studies suggest an extension of the LHC dark matter interpretations to the sub-GeV regime.
