Abstract
We present a model of pseudo-Goldstone dark matter that interacts through a light vector mediator based on a spontaneously broken dark sector. The dark matter mass is induced by the explicit breaking of the dark symmetry. A residual global symmetry prevents dark matter decay. The behavior of this model is studied under the assumption that the observed dark matter relic abundance is due to thermal freeze-out. We consider self-interaction targets for small scale structure anomalies and the possibility of interacting with the Standard model through the vector mediator.
