Electroweak breaking and Dark Matter from the common scale
Abstract
We propose a classically scale invariant extension of the Standard Model where the electroweak symmetry breaking and the mass of the Dark Matter particle come from the common scale. We introduce gauge symmetry and -charged scalar and Majorana fermion . Scale invariance is broken via Coleman-Weinberg mechanism providing the vacuum expectation value of the scalar . Stability of the dark matter candidate is guaranteed by a remnant symmetry. The Higgs boson mass and the mass of the Dark Matter particle have a common origin, the vacuum expectation value of . Dark matter relic abundance is determined by annihilation . We scan the parameter space of the model and find the mass of the dark matter particle in the range from 500 GeV to a few TeV.
