| dc.description | We consider examples of ``hidden-valley'' models, in which a new confining gauge group is added to the standard model. Such models often arise in string constructions, and elsewhere. The resulting (electrically-neutral) bound states can have low masses and long lifetimes, and could be observed at the LHC and Tevatron. Production multiplicities are often large. Final states with heavy flavor are common; lepton pairs, displaced vertices and/or missing energy are possible. Accounting for LEP constraints, we find LHC production cross-sections typically in the 1-100 fb range, though they can be larger. It is possible the Higgs boson could be discovered at the Tevatron through rare decays to the new particles. | |
