This paper explores the possibility of hidden sectors in particle physics, where particles interact with the Standard Model through weak, unconventional forces. It investigates several theoretical models for such hidden sectors, including hidden photons and axion-like particles, and examines the constraints on these models from experimental results from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The authors calculate limits on the strength of these interactions based on LHC data, and compare these constraints to existing limits from other sources, such as astrophysical observations and low-energy laboratory experiments. This research aims to contribute to the ongoing search for new physics beyond the Standard Model by exploring the potential of hidden sectors and examining how they might be detected at the LHC. https://arxiv.org/abs/1212.3620
