Probes for 4th Generation Constituents of Dark Atoms in Higgs Boson Studies at the LHC by M. Yu. Khlopov, R. M. Shibaev

“…Stable U- (anti-U)quarks of 4th generation, bound in stable colorless (U- U- U-) clusters, are captured by the primordial helium, produced in Big Bang Nucleosynthesis, thus forming neutral “atoms” of O-helium (OHe), a specific nuclear interacting dark matter that can provide solution for the puzzles of direct dark matter searches. However, the existence of the 4th generation quarks and leptons should influence the production and decay rates of Higgs boson and is ruled out by the experimental results of the Higgs boson searches at the LHC, if the Higgs boson coupling to 4th generation fermions is not suppressed. …”
