Although it is usually thought that a class of weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) dark matters (DMs), which have the vector coupling with the $Z$ boson, is denied by null results of the direct DM searches, such WIMP DMs are still…

We consider a spin~-~3/2 fermionic dark matter candidate (DM) interacting with Standard Model fermions through a vector mediator in the $s$-channel. We find that for pure vector couplings almost the entire parameter space of the DM and…

A neutral Dirac fermion is supplied as a singlet within the context of the standard model (SM) and is considered as a dark matter (DM) candidate near electroweak scale (10-1000 GeV) with nonzero magnetic dipole moment. The Dirac particles…
