Reheating the FCC: Probing Early Matter Domination with Long-Lived Particles
Nicolás Bernal, Giovanna Cottin, Kuldeep Deka, Manuel López
Abstract
We study a GeV-scale Higgs-portal scalar ϕ that can dominate the early Universe and later decay into Standard Model states, ending an early matter-dominated era. Ordinary cosmic reheating is the minimal example of this scenario. The small Higgs mixing makes ϕ a long-lived particle (LLP), linking the reheating temperature Trh to displaced-decay signatures at colliders. Including finite-temperature suppression of the decay width, we map FCC-hh LLP sensitivity onto the [mϕ, Trh] plane. We find that FCC-hh displaced searches could probe GeV-scale transition temperatures, up to the electroweak scale within the broken-phase Higgs-portal description.
