3.3 Theoretical and experimental constraints

We discuss different constraints on the model parameters such as𝑈(1)𝑋 gauge coupling and scalar mixing angle. To estimate the constraints we consider vacuum stability, perturbative unitarity, and collider searches of BSM Higgs and 𝑍′ boson respectively.

3.3.1 Vacuum Stability

The above scalar potential must be bounded from below. To determine the conditions for 𝑉(𝐻, Φ, 𝜒) to be bounded from below, we need to check the following symmetric matrix which comes from the quadratic part of the potential,

Requiring such a matrix to be positive-definite, we obtain the following conditions,

3.3.2 Higgs Invisible decay

Hence the total invisible decay width of SM Higgs boson ℎ1 is given a

Accordingly, the invisible branching ratio for ℎ1 is given b
