Lightest U-parity Particle (LUP) dark matter

We suggest a U(1)' gauge symmetry as an alternative to the usual R-parity of supersymmetric standard models, showing that it can also work as a common source of stabilities of proton and dark matter in addition to other attractive features. The residual discrete symmetries of a single U(1)' can provide stabilities to both the MSSM sector (proton) and the hidden sector (new dark matter candidate, LUP). The LUP can expand the viability of many models such as R-parity violating models and gauge mediation models regarding dark matter issue.
