Abstract

We propose an extension to the standard model incorporating a dark sector with a non-Abelian SU(2) gauge symmetry. The model yields stable dark matter candidates, protected by a residual Z3Z_3 symmetry arising after the spontaneous symmetry breaking. The dark sector interacts with the SM via a Higgs portal, facilitated from mixing between the SM Higgs doublet and a dark scalar singlet. The model features two distinct DM components. We analyze theoretical and experimental constraints, including perturbativity, unitarity, vacuum stability, dark matter relic density, direct detection, indirect detection, Higgs invisible decays, dark radiation, and ellipticity. Our findings identify viable parameter spaces that satisfy these constraints, as exemplified by two benchmark points.
