Non-Abelian Vector Boson Dark Matter (VBDM), arising from an $SU(2)_N$ extension of the Standard Model (SM) has been studied. The Dark Matter (DM) is stabilized by imposing an additional discrete global symmetry $S^{'}$ with charges, such…
Vector boson dark matter (DM) appears in $SU(2)_N$ extension ($N$ stands for neutral) of Standard Model (SM) where an additional global $U(1)_P$ symmetry is assumed and results in a generalized lepton number defined as: $L=P+T_{3N}$.…
An $SU(2)_N$ extension ($N$ stands for neutral) of the Standard Model (SM) is proposed with an additional $U(1)=S^{'}$ global symmetry, which stabilizes the lightest of the vector boson ($X,\bar{X}$) as dark matter (DM) through unbroken…
We consider a simple abelian vector dark matter (DM) model, where {\it only} the DM $(\widetilde{X}_\mu)$ couples non-minimally to the scalar curvature $(\widetilde{R})$ of the background spacetime via an operator of the form $\sim…
A model of dark matter (DM) that communicates with the Standard Model (SM) exclusively through suppressed dimension five operator is discussed. The SM is augmented with a symmetry $U(1)_X \otimes Z_2$, where $U(1)_X$ is gauged and broken…
The mystery of dark matter remains an unsettled problem of particle physics. On top of that, experiments show a persistent contention of the muon anomalous magnetic moment (AMM) relative to the Standard Model (SM) prediction. In this work,…
We present the first predictive realization of vector freeze-in dark matter from a hidden non-Abelian gauge sector, spontaneously broken to a residual $U(1)$ with a massless dark photon mediator. A massive dark vector particle-antiparticle…
We present a new class of Dark Matter (DM) models wherein the Standard Model (SM) is extended with a new $SU(2)_D$ dark gauge sector. In this framework the stability of DM is provided by the conservation of a $U(1)$ global symmetry, which…
We propose a novel particle physics model in which vector dark matter (VDM) and dark radiation (DR) originate from the same non-Abelian dark sector. We show an illustrating example where dark $SU(3)$ is spontaneously broken into $SU(2)$…
The freeze-in mechanism for dark matter (DM) requires extremely feeble interactions with the Standard Model (SM), preventing thermal equilibrium in the early Universe and typically evading experimental detection. However, for sufficiently…
The non-thermal dark matter (DM) production via the so-called freeze-in mechanism provides a simple alternative to the standard thermal WIMP scenario. In this work, we consider a popular $U(1)_{B-L}$ extension of the standard model (SM) in…
We propose an electroweakly interacting spin-1 dark matter (DM) model. The electroweak gauge symmetry, SU(2)$_L\times$U(1)$_Y$, is extended into SU(2)$_0\times$SU(2)$_1 \times $SU(2)$_2 \times$U(1)$_Y$. A discrete symmetry exchanging…
With the advent of new and more sensitive direct detection experiments, scope for a thermal WIMP explanation of dark matter (DM) has become extremely constricted. The non-observation of thermal WIMP in these experiments has put a strong…
We present a mechanism for the dark matter stability in the framework of a non-Abelian avour symmetry renormalizable model. The same non-abelian discrete avor symmetry which accounts for the observed pattern of neutrino oscillations,…
We propose a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson (pNGB) dark matter (DM) model based on an additional non-Abelian gauge symmetry $SU(2)_D$. The gauge symmetry $SU(2)_D$ is spontaneously broken to a global custodial symmetry $U(1)_V$ via the…
A dark sector resembling the standard model, where the abundance of matter is explained by baryon and lepton asymmetries, and stable constituents bind to form atoms, is a theoretically appealing possibility. We show that a minimal model…
We study sterile neutrino dark matter (DM) in a classically conformal U(1)' extension of the Standard Model with three right-handed neutrinos and a Majoron-like singlet scalar that generate the observed pattern of active neutrino masses and…
A dark sector with non-abelian gauge symmetry provides a sound framework to justify stable dark matter (DM) candidates. We consider scalar fields charged under a $SU(N)$ gauge group, and show that the centre of $SU(N)$, the discrete…
An appealing framework for dark matter is provided by light hidden sectors, below the electroweak scale, feebly coupled to the Standard Model via light mediators. We consider a minimal, predictive model where both the dark matter and the…
