The Higgs portal above threshold

The discovery of the higgs boson opens the door to new physics interacting via the higgs portal, including motivated scenarios relating to baryogenesis, dark matter, and electroweak naturalness. we systematically explore the collider signatures of singlet scalars produced via the higgs portal at the 14 tev lhc and a prospective 100 tev hadron collider. we focus on the challenging regime where the scalars are too heavy to be produced in the decays of an on-shell higgs boson, and instead are produced primarily via an off-shell higgs. assuming these scalars escape the detector, promising channels include missing energy in association with vector boson fusion, monojets, and top pairs. we forecast the sensitivity of searches in these channels at $$ sqrt{s}=14 $$ & 100 tev and compare collider reach to the motivated parameter space of singlet-assisted electroweak baryogenesis, higgs portal dark matter, and neutral naturalness.
