Dark charge versus electric charge

Abstract

We revisit a theory that proposes a dark charge, DD, as a dequantization of the electric charge, QQ. We find that the general arguments of anomaly cancelation and fermion mass generation yield both DD and QQ, nontrivially unified with the weak isospin TiT_i (i=1,2,3)(i={1,2,3}) in a novel gauge symmetry, SU(3)CSU(2)LU(1)YU(1)NSU(3)_C\otimes SU(2)_L\otimes U(1)_Y\otimes U(1)_N, where YY and NN determine QQ and DD through the T3T_3 operator, i.e. Q=T3+YQ=T_3+Y and D=T3+ND=T_3+N, respectively. A new observation is that fundamental particles possess a dynamical dark charge which governs both neutrino mass and dark matter, where the neutrino mass is determined via a canonical seesaw, while the dark matter stability is ensured by electric and color charge conservations. We examine the mass spectra of fermions, scalars, and gauge bosons, as well as their interactions, taking into account the kinetic mixing effect of U(1)Y,NU(1)_{Y,N} gauge fields. The new physics phenomena at colliders are examined. The dark matter relic density and detection are discussed.
