Abstract

The framework of the so-called 3-3-1LHN model may accommodate two different, but viable, scenarios of dark matter: one involving a heavy Dirac neutrino , N1N_1, or another having a scalar, ϕ\phi, as dark matter candidate. In both cases the dark matter phenomenology, relic abundance and scattering cross section off of nuclei, is controlled by exchange of ZZ^{\prime}. We then investigate the impact on the parameter space (MZ,M(N1,ϕ))(M_{Z^{\prime}}\,,\,M_{(N_1\,,\, \phi)}) due to the recent Pandax-4T experimental result in both scenarios. First, the Pandax-4T experiment excludes scenarios with dark matter mass below 1.91.9 TeV. Concerning ZZ^{\prime}, we find the lower bound MZ>4.1M_{Z^{\prime}}> 4.1 TeV for the case when N1N_1 as the dark matter and MZ>5.7 M_{Z^{\prime}}>5.7 TeV for the other case. This implies that the 3-3-1 symmetry is spontaneously broken above 1010 TeV scale. We also comment on the contributions to the relic abundance of processes involving flavor changing neutral current mediated by ZZ^{\prime}.
