Description

The Standard Model of particle physics fails to explain several important phenomena like neutrino oscillations, matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe, cosmological dark matter. While we definitely need some new physics capable of explaining the phenomena above, the absence of any new particles at colliders implies that they are either very heavy or feebly interacting with the known particles. In the latter case they can be at GeV mass range, produced by and/or decaying to hadrons. We discuss the associated with QCD difficulties in obtaining the accurate predictions for the new particle production and decay rates, concentrating on the singlet scalar, fermion and vector messengers to the hidden sector.
