Dark Matter EFT, the Third -- Neutrino WIMPs

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2021-02-17 v2

Abstract

Sterile neutrinos coupling only to third-generation fermions are attractive dark matter candidates. In an EFT approach we demonstrate that they can generate the observed relic density without violating constraints from direct and indirect detection. Such an EFT represents a gauged third-generation BLB-L model, as well as third-generation scalar or vector leptoquarks. LHC measurements naturally distinguish the different underlying models.
