A Warped Scalar Portal to Fermionic Dark Matter: A 5D Extension of the Standard Model Linking Visible Matter and the Dark Sector
To the point
Mainz researchers, including Javier Castellano Ruiz and Matthias Neubert, propose that a heavy Higgs-like particle from a five-dimensional extension of the Standard Model mediates a new force between ordinary matter and dark matter, acting as a calculable portal that makes dark matter testable in upcoming experiments even though the mediator is too heavy to be produced at the LHC.
