We study the phenomenology of a $U_X(1)$ extension of the Standard Model where the SM particles are not charged under the new abelian group. The Green-Schwarz mechanism insures that the model is anomaly free. The erstwhile invisible dark…

We elaborate on an extension of the Standard Model with a gauge structure enlarged by a single anomalous U(1), where the presence of a Wess-Zumino term is motivated by the Green-Schwarz mechanism of string theory. The additional gauge…
We study the collider phenomenology of a neutral gauge boson $Z'$ arising in minimal but anomalous $\mathrm{U}(1)$ extensions of the Standard Model (SM). To retain gauge invariance of physical observables, we consider cancellation of gauge…
We classify weak-scale extensions of the Standard Model which automatically preserve its accidental and approximate symmetry structure at the renormalizable level and which are hence invisible to low-energy indirect probes. By requiring the…
We study the consequences of an extension of the standard model containing an invisible extra gauge group under which the SM particles are neutral. We show that effective operators, generated by loops of heavy chiral fermions charged under…
In this work, we have considered a gauged $U(1)_{\rm B-L}$ extension of the Standard Model (SM) with three right handed neutrinos for anomaly cancellation and two additional SM singlet complex scalars with non-trivial B-L charges. One of…
We investigate the predictions of anomaly-free dark matter models for direct and indirect detection experiments. We focus on gauge theories where the existence of a fermionic dark matter candidate is predicted by anomaly cancellation, its…
This Thesis reviews an extension of the MSSM by the addition of an anomalous abelian vector multiplet and contains some original results concerning the phenomenology of an anomalous $Z'$. The review part covers an introduction of the MSSM…
A recently proposed scale invariant extension of the standard model is modified such that it includes a Dark Matter candidate which can annihilate into gamma-rays. For that a non-zero $U(1)_Y$ hypercharge $Q$ is assigned to the fermions in…
We study an extension of the MSSM by an anomalous abelian vector multiplet and a St\"uckelberg multiplet. The anomalies are cancelled by the Green-Schwarz mechanism and the addition of Chern-Simons terms. The advantage of this choice over…
We investigate an extension of the Standard Model (SM) incorporating a gauge $ U(1) $ horizontal symmetry that is free of anomalies. This extension introduces four additional un-Higgsed scalar doublets that do not develop vacuum expectation…
Dark matter particles annihilating into Standard Model fermions may be able to explain the recent observation of a gamma-ray excess in the direction of the Galactic Center. Recently, a hidden photon model has been proposed to explain this…
We study the axion portal between the visible and the dark sector, where the dark matter is charged under an abelian extension of the Standard Model. In general, such models are anomalous and are rendered gauge invariant by a…
We classify all the phenomenologically viable fermion mass matrices coming from a spontaneously broken abelian symmetry $ U(1)_X, $ with one and two additional chiral fields of opposite charges $ X=\pm 1. $ We find that the non-trivial…
Assuming that a horizontal abelian (gauge) symmetry is at the origin of texture zeros in the fermion mass matrices we show how realistic mass patterns can be generated in the presence of scalar fields whose vacuum expectation value breaks…
Extensions of the Standard Model with an extra U'(1) abelian group generically generate terms coming from loops of heavy fermions, leading to three gauge boson couplings, in particular Z'Z gamma. We show that WMAP data constrains the gauge…
A new non-universal abelian extension $\mathrm{G_{SM}}\otimes \mathrm{U(1)}_{X}$ to the Standard Model free from chiral anomalies is presented. The new $X$ charges distinguish among generations so as the fermion mass matrices get…
We build a gauge model based on the SU(3)_c x SU(4)_L x U(1)_X symmetry where the scalar spectrum needed to generate gauge boson and fermion masses has a smaller scalar content than usually assumed in literature. We compute the running of…
We study a simple extension of Standard Model where the gauge group is extended by an additional $U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry. Neutrino mass arise both at tree level as well as radiatively by the anomaly free addition of one singlet fermion…
