"Dark Photons", light new vector particles V kinetically mixed with the photon, are a frequently considered extension of the Standard Model. For masses below 10 keV they are emitted from the solar interior. In the limit of small mass m_V…

We study a model with a vector dark matter (DM) candidate interacting with the SM charged leptons through a scalar portal. The dark matter candidate acquires mass when the complex scalar breaks an abelian gauge symmetry spontaneously. The…

A $SU(2)_D \times U(1)_D$ gauge-Higgs sector, an exact dark copy of the Standard Model (SM) one, is proposed. It is demonstrated that the dark gauge bosons ${\cal W}^{(p,m)}$, in analogous to the SM $W^\pm$, can fulfill the role as a…
