Dark coloured scalars impact on single and di-Higgs production at the LHC by Pedro Gabriel, Margarete Mühlleitner, Daniel Neacsu, Rui Santos

“…In this case, it is not even relevant if the new particles have their origin in the dark sector of the model. In this work we discuss the impact of an arbitrary number of coloured scalars with $$Z_2$$ Z 2 -odd parity in single Higgs and double Higgs production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and we show their complementarity. …”
