Abstract

We extend the concept of matter parity PM=(1)3(BL)P_M=(-1)^{3(B-L)} to non-supersymmetric theories and argue that PMP_M is the natural explanation to the existence of Dark Matter of the Universe. We show that the non-supersymmetric Dark Matter must be contained in scalar 16 representation(s) of SO(10),SO(10), thus the unique low energy Dark Matter candidates are PMP_M-odd complex scalar singlet(s) SS and inert scalar doublet(s) H2.H_2. We have calculated the thermal relic Dark Matter abundance of the model and shown that its minimal form may be testable at LHC via the SM Higgs boson decays H1DMDM.H_1\to DM DM. The PAMELA anomaly can be explained with the decays DMνlWDM\to \nu l W induced via seesaw-like operator which is additionally suppressed by Planck scale. Because the SM fermions are odd under matter parity too, the DM sector is just our scalar relative.
