Description

In hidden valley scenarios, new particles with relatively light masses are hypothesized to exist in a "potential valley" separated from the standard model by a high potential barrier. At high energy colliders, this barrier could be crossed leading to the production of hidden valley particles which could decay to standard model particles after moderately short lifetimes. Results from multiple searches for hidden valley particles in ppbar collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV, collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider are reported.
