Abstract

We consider a U(1)X_X gauge symmetry extension of the Standard Model (SM) with a ZZ^\prime-portal Majorana fermion dark matter that allows for a relatively light gauge boson ZZ^\prime with mass of 10 MeV- a few GeV and a much heavier dark matter through the freeze-in mechanism. In a second scenario the roles are reversed, and the dark matter mass, in the keV range or so, lies well below the ZZ^\prime mass, say, 1\sim 1 GeV. We outline the parameter space that can be explored for these two scenarios at the future Lifetime Frontier experiments including Belle-II, FASER, LDMX and SHiP.
