Search for inelastic Dark Matter with a Dark Higgs at Belle II — •Patrick Ecker, Giacomo De Pietro, Jonas Eppelt, Torben Ferber, and Pablo Goldenzweig — Institute of Experimental Particle Physics (ETP), Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)

Belle II has a unique reach for a broad class of models that postulate the existence of Dark Matter particles in the MeV-GeV mass range. One highly motivated scenario is a model which involves inelastic Dark Matter, consisting of two Dark Matter states with a mass splitting between them and the presence of a Dark Higgs boson. This model has a signature of up to two displaced vertices, one from the resonant decay of the Dark Higgs and another non-resonant one emerging from the decay of the involved Dark Matter particles. This talk will present a way to search for such signatures, which is not only challenging due to the presence of displaced vertices but also because of the seven-dimensional parameter space of the model.
