A simulation framework for modeling exotic Higgs decay events involving superluminal dark photons, based on the Superluminal Graviton Condensate Vacuum (SGCV) model. This tool is designed to assess Time-of-Flight (ToF) anomalies and spatial origin displacements in high-energy collider environments, such as ATLAS or SHiP.
This project implements a theoretical particle simulation to test predictions from the SGCV framework:
H → γ_DP → γ
Where:
-
$\gamma_{ ext{DP}}$ : a transient dark photon traveling at$v > c$ , - which converts into a Standard Model photon inside the detector,
- producing measurable
$\Delta t$ and$\Delta x$ anomalies.
- GEANT4-compatible Monte Carlo event modeling
- Adjustable dark photon velocities and path segments
- High-precision ToF tracking and vertex displacement analysis
- Configurable detector smearing and resolution parameters
- Google Colab compatibility for rapid execution and visualization

Install required packages:
pip install -r requirements.txtRun the simulation:
python simulate_tof_anomalies.pyLaunch the ready-to-run notebook:
🔗 SGCV_DarkPhoton_Colab.ipynb 'Pending Update'
Includes:
- Preloaded parameters for SGCV validation
- Visualization of
$\Delta t$ histograms and scatter plots
The simulation produces:
- Histograms of time anomalies (
$\Delta t$ ) - Scatter plots of photon origin displacements (
$\Delta x$ ) - Statistical comparison to Standard Model baselines
All plots can be saved as PNG/PDF for use in research figures or papers.

It models how displaced vacuum gravitons (in the SGCV model) produce dark photon intermediaries that travel superluminally, leading to detectable collider anomalies.
- No formal collaboration with ATLAS/SHiP exists at this time.
- The authors welcome scientific dialogue, replication, and code validation efforts.
