For a Higgs boson with a mass of 125 GeV, assuming the Standard Model production cross section, an upper bound of 0.28 is set on the branching fraction of H -> invisible at 95{\%} confidence level, where the expected upper limit is 0.31. The results are interpreted in models of Higgs-portal dark matter where the branching fraction limit is converted into upper bounds on the dark-matter-nucleon scattering cross section as a function of the dark-matter particle mass, and compared to results from the direct dark-matter detection experiments.", optnote="WOS:000369302700001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=2542), last updated on Thu, 28 Jul 2016 12:09:56 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP01(2016)172", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1508.07869", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP01(2016)172", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1508.07869", language="English" }
