Abstract

A multi-component weakly-interacting dark matter scenario is analyzed, where the candidate dark matter states arise from the SU(2)DZ3D×Z2accSU(2)_{D}\to Z_{3}^{D}\times Z_{2}^{\text{acc}} symmetry breaking triggered by a VEV-developing scalar in the J=3/2J=3/2 representation. While the discrete symmetries guarantee at least two stable states, a closer look at the mass orderings of the contrived dark sector reveals the existence of a third dark matter candidate, whose stability effectively results from the tight phase space in the dark boson sector. Regions of masses and couplings where the three dark states furnish a comparable contribution to the observed relic abundance are determined numerically.
