In this paper, we present a model for sub-MeV dark matter with strong self interactions which can solve some of the small scale crisis of the $\Lambda$CDM. The dark matter is a Majorana fermion with only off-diagonal interactions with a…
We consider a minimal Dark Matter model with just two additional states, a Dark Matter Majorana fermion and a colored or electroweakly charged scalar, without introducing any symmetry to stabilize the DM state. We identify the parameter…
We analyze a low energy effective model of Dark Matter in which the thermal relic density is provided by a singlet Majorana fermion which interacts with the Higgs fields via higher dimensional operators. Direct detection signatures may be…
A simple extension of the Standard Model (SM) that provides an explicit realization of the dark-matter (DM) neutrino-portal paradigm is presented. The leading interactions between the dark sector, containing scalars and relic fermions, and…
The existence of the neutrino mass and flavor mixing have been experimentally verified. These phenomena strongly motivate to extend the Standard Model (SM). Amongst many possibilities, a simple and interesting extension of the SM can be…
Leptophilic dark matter (DM) is a well-motivated thermal WIMP framework that can evade stringent nuclear-recoil searches while remaining testable via DM-induced heating of neutron stars (NS). In this work, we study leptophilic scalar DM in…
We study a relic density of the flavino dark matter in modified Altarelli and Feruglio $A_4$ model which is respecting the $SU(2)_L\times A_4\times Z_3\times U(1)_R$ symmetry. We calculate the Lagrangian from the superpotential in the…
We have built a renormalizable $U(1)_X$ model with a $\Sigma (18)\times Z_4$ symmetry, whose spontaneous breaking yields the observed SM fermion masses and fermionic mixing parameters. The tiny masses of the light active neutrinos are…
We construct and analyze nonsupersymmetric SO(10) standard model extensions which explain dark matter (DM) through the fermionic Higgs portal. In these SO(10)-based models the DM particle is naturally stable since a $Z_2$ discrete symmetry,…
This study focuses on a combined analysis of various available inputs to constrain the parameter spaces of a simplified dark matter (SDM) model featuring a spin-0 mediator and fermionic dark matter (DM). The spin-0 mediator interacts with…
The fundamental issue of the origin of mass for all quarks and leptons (including Majorana neutrinos) is linked to dark matter, odd under an exactly conserved Z(2) symmetry which may or may not be derivable from an U(1) gauge symmetry. The…
We perform a model independent study of freeze-in of massive particle dark matter (DM) by adopting an effective field theory framework. Considering the dark matter to be a gauge singlet Majorana fermion, odd under a stabilising symmetry…
A strongly interacting massive particle (SIMP) is an interesting candidate for dark matter (DM) because its self-interaction cross section can be naturally strong enough to address the astrophysical problem of small-scale structure…
We study the dark matter phenomenology of scotogenic frameworks through a rather illustrative model extending the Standard Model by scalar and fermionic singlets and doublets. Such a setup is phenomenologically attractive since it provides…
Flavor mixings together with fermion mass spectra are studied in detail in the $SU(6) \times SU(2)_R$ model, in which state-mixings beyond the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) take place. Characteristic patterns of fermion…
In this paper, we construct a viable model for a GeV scale self-interacting dark matter (DM), where the DM was thermally produced in the early universe. Here, a new vector-like fermion with a dark charge under the $U(1)_{D}$ gauge symmetry…
We propose a minimal extension of the Standard Model (SM) that addresses both the smallness of neutrino masses and the dark matter (DM) puzzle via the inverse seesaw mechanism and an axion portal fermionic DM. This model generates light…
We present a class of dark matter models, in which the dark matter particle is a feebly interacting massive particle (FIMP) produced via the decay of an electrically charged and/or colored parent particle. Given the feeble interaction, dark…
We study a supersymmetric model in which the Higgs mass, the muon anomalous magnetic moment and the dark matter are simultaneously explained with extra vector-like generation multiplets. For the explanations, non-trivial flavor structures…
We study a scenario where a dark sector, described by a Conformal Field Theory (CFT), interacts with the Standard Model through the neutrino portal. In this setup, conformal invariance breaks below the electroweak scale, causing the theory…
