In a model with an extra $U(1)$ gauge to SM gauge group, we have shown the allowed region of masses of extra gauge boson and the dark matter which is the lightest one among other right-handed Majorana fermions present in the model. To…
The axion-like particle (ALP), a pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson that couples to two photons, has been studied extensively in recent years as a dark matter candidate. For initial field configurations in a minimal ALP model explaining the…
The freeze-in production of Feebly Interacting Massive Particle (FIMP) dark matter in the early universe is an appealing alternative to the well-known - and constrained - Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) paradigm. Although…
Vector $U$-bosons, often referred to as 'dark photons', are potential candidates for mediating dark matter interactions. In this study, we outline a procedure to derive theoretical constraints on the upper bound of the kinetic mixing…
We explore a scenario that the dark matter is a boson condensate created by the misalignment mechanism, in which a spin 0 boson (an axion-like particle) and a spin 1 boson (the dark photon) are considered, respectively. We find that…
The nature of neutrinos, whether Dirac or Majorana, is hitherto not known. Assuming that the neutrinos are Dirac, which needs $B-L$ to be an exact symmetry, we make an attempt to explain the observed proportionality between the relic…
Z' gauge bosons arise in many particle physics models as mediators between the dark and visible sectors. We exploit dark matter complementarity and derive stringent and robust collider, direct and indirect constraints, as well as limits…
It was recently suggested that dark matter consists of ~GeV particles that carry baryon number and mix with the neutron. We demonstrate that this could allow for resonant dark matter-neutron oscillations in the early universe, at finite…
We study a scenario where the Standard Model is extended by a SU(2) gauge group in the dark sector. The three associated dark gauge bosons are stabilised via a custodial symmetry triggered by an additional dark SU(2) scalar doublet, thus…
Cosmic ray anomalies observed by PAMELA and Fermi-LAT experiments may be interpreted by heavy (TeV-scale) dark matter annihilation enhanced by Sommerfeld effects mediated by a very light (sub-GeV) U(1)_X gauge boson, while the recent direct…
The vector $U$-bosons, or so called 'dark photons', are one of the possible candidates for the dark matter mediators. They are supposed to interact with the standard matter via a 'vector portal' due to the $U(1)-U(1)^\prime$ symmetry group…
We propose a new mechanism to simultaneously explain the observed dark matter abundance and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. The mechanism is based on the Filtered Dark Matter scenario, where dark matter particles acquire a large mass…
We present a classically scale-invariant model where the dark matter, neutrino and electroweak mass scales are dynamically generated from dimensionless couplings. The Standard Model gauge sector is extended by a dark $SU(2)_X$ gauge…
In rich dark sector models, dark photons heavier than tens of MeV can behave as semi-visible particles: their decays contain both visible and invisible final states. We present models containing multiple dark fermions which allow for such…
In this paper, we propose a new approach to study the dark sector of the universe by considering the dark energy as emerging a q-deformed bosonic scalar field which is not only interacting with the dark matter, but also non-minimally…
A new strong interaction sector is proposed as a possible origin for the Dark Energy and Dark matter. It is described by an unbroken gauge group $SU(2)_Z$ which grows strong at a scale $\Lambda_Z \sim 10^{-3} eV$ provided its coupling is of…
Dark matter (DM) refers to a new type of matter that may explain observed rotation curves of galaxies and the composite structure of the Universe. It may couple to the Standard Model particles via portals, which include the possibility of…
Dark photons could be produced resonantly by the oscillating axion field in the early universe. This resonant production mechanism has been used in various contexts, including dark photon dark matter and primordial magnetic field…
New Abelian U(1)' gauge bosons $V_{\mu}$ can couple to the Standard Model through mixing of the associated field strength tensor $V_{\mu\nu}$ with the one from hypercharge, $F_{\mu\nu}^Y$. Here we consider early Universe sensitivity to this…
Superheavy dark matter can satisfy the observed dark matter abundance if the stability condition is fulfilled. Here, we propose a new Abelian gauge symmetry ${\rm U(1)}_H$ for the stability of superheavy dark matter as the electromagnetic…
