The first project proposes the Hidden Sector is populated by just one U(1) vector particle. It couples to the Standard Model through kinetic mixing and is responsible for a fraction of Dark Matter density of our Universe. The other two projects look at specic signals from a Hidden Sector with two light scalars coupled to the Standard Model through a Higgs Portal. One of these projects looks at collider consequences and the other projects explores how such Hidden Sector may alter rare decays of B mesons application/pdf en_US Copyright is held by the individual authors.
