Most analyses of dark matter within supersymmetry assume the entire cold dark matter arising only from weakly interacting neutralinos. We study a new class of models consisting of $U(1)^n$ hidden sector extensions of the MSSM that includes…
A search for dark matter is performed using events with large missing transverse momentum and a Higgs boson decaying either to a pair of bottom quarks or to a pair of photons. The data from proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass…

The gamma-ray excess observed from the Galactic Center can be interpreted as dark matter particles annihilating into Standard Model fermions with a cross section near that expected for a thermal relic. Although many particle physics models…
As proposed recently by Fornal and Grinstein, neutrons can undergo a dark matter decay mode which was not observed before. Such a decay could explain the existing discrepancy between two different methods of neutron lifetime measurements.…

The nonbaryonic dark matter of the Universe might consist of new stable charged species, bound by ordinary Coulomb interactions in various forms of heavy neutral "dark atoms". The existing models offer natural implementations for the…
A class of extra dimensional models with a warped metric predict tunneling of a massive particle localized on our brane and escaping into additional dimensions. The experimental signature of this effect is the disappearance of the particle…
The muon g-2 discrepancy between theory and experiment may be explained by a light vector boson Z_d that couples to the electromagnetic current via kinetic mixing with the photon. We illustrate how the existing electron g-2, pion Dalitz…
The mediator particle between the Standard Model sector and a hidden sector might have a long lifetime to show the observable displaced vertices in experiments. Considering a fermionic dark matter model in which the hidden sector is…
If dark matter decays or annihilates into electrons and positrons, it can affect radiation and cosmic-ray backgrounds. We review a novel, more general analysis of constraints on decaying dark matter models, by introducing the response…
We study neutrino and dark matter based on a gauged $U(1)_R$ symmetry in a framework of radiative seesaw scenario. Identifying dark matter as a bosoninc particle, it interacts with quark and lepton sectors through vector-like heavier quark…
Self-interacting dark matter models constitute an attractive solution to problems in structure formation on small scales. A simple realization of these models considers the dark force mediated by a light particle which can couple to the…
We consider a model for a Z'-boson coupled only to baryon minus lepton number and hypercharge. Besides the usual right-handed neutrinos, we add a pair of fermions with a fractional lepton charge, which we therefore call leptinos. One of the…
Recently, a new non-Standard Model neutrino interaction mediated by a light scalar field was proposed, which renders the big-bang relic neutrinos of the cosmic neutrino background a natural dark energy candidate, the so-called Neutrino Dark…
Due to its highly suppressed cross section (fermionic) dark matter interacting with the Standard Model via pseudoscalar mediators is expected to be essentially unobservable in direct detection experiments. We consider both a simplified…
A sub-GeV dark sector fermion X can have baryon number violating interactions induced by high scale physics, leading to nucleon decay into X + meson and neutron -> X + photon. Such processes can mimic standard search modes containing a…
We study a simple Dirac fermion dark matter model in U(1)$_{L_\mu-L_\tau}$ theory. The new light gauge boson $X$ plays important roles in both dark matter physics and the explanation for the muon $g-2$ anomaly. The observed dark matter…
Applying the phenomenon of neutrino lasing in the solar interior, we show how the rate for the generic neutrino decay process `\nu -> fermion + boson', can in principal be enhanced by many orders of magnitude over its normal decay rate.…
We study a three loop induced neutrino mass model with exotic vector-like isospin doublet leptons which contain a dark matter candidate. Then we explore lepton flavor violations, and dark matter physics in co-annihilation system. In this…
