Electroweak dark matter model accounting for the CDF $W$-mass anomaly
Abstract
Recently, the CDF collaboration reported a new measurement of the boson mass GeV, which shows a deviation from the standard model prediction GeV obtained by the electroweak (EW) global fit. This deviation can be explained by new physics generating moderate EW oblique parameters , , and . In this work, we use the loop corrections induced by some extra EW multiplets to explain the CDF anomaly. The lightest neutral particle in the multiplets can also serve as a candidate of cold dark matter (DM). We consider two such models, namely singlet-triplet scalar DM and singlet-doublet fermionic DM models, and perform numerical scans to find the parameter points accounting for the anomaly. The constraints from the correct DM thermal relic density and direct detection are also taken into account. We find the parameter points simultaneously interpreting the anomaly and satisfying the DM requirements in the former model, but do not find such parameter points in the latter model.
