Abstract
In this paper, we present an in-depth phenomenological and technical description of the ATLAS LHC experiment, focusing on two-γ-photon decay events of the Higgs boson. We explore the implications of these decay events in the context of our novel theory, the Superluminal Graviton Condensate Vacuum (SGCV). This theory predicts the existence of "superluminal propagating massless dark photons”, which act as ghost particles of superluminal displaced vacuum dark sector gravitons. The detection of these particles would establish a significant link between the Higgs field, the quantum field of normal photons, and the dark sector. We propose experimental setups and Time-of-Flight (ToF) instrumentation detectors to validate these predictions, emphasizing their importance for understanding the vacuum and the fabric of spacetime, which is hypothesized to be fundamentally composed of superluminal vibration energy.
