We explore a simple but extremely predictive extension of the scotogenic model. We promote the scotogenic symmetry $\mathbb{Z}_2$ to the flavour non-Abelian symmetry $\Sigma(81)$, which can also automatically protect dark matter stability.…
We propose a simple extension of the Standard Model (SM) which has a viable dark matter (DM) candidate, as well as can explain the generation of tiny neutrino masses. The DM is an electroweak (EW) singlet scalar $S$, odd under an imposed…
We discuss radiative seesaw models, in which an exact $Z_2\times Z_2'$ symmetry is imposed. Due to the exact $Z_2\times Z_2'$ symmetry, neutrino masses are generated at a two-loop level and at least two extra stable electrically neutral…
A mechanism of radiative generation of realistic neutrino mixing at one-loop level with $D5\times Z_2$ is presented in this paper. The process is demonstrated in two set-ups using $D5\times Z_2$ symmetry viz. Model 1 and Model 2. Two…
The simplest extension of the Standard Model by only one real singlet scalar can explain the observed dark matter relic density while giving simultaneously a strongly first-order electroweak phase transition in the early universe. However,…
We propose a scalar dark matter model featuring a hidden gauge symmetry, denoted as U(1)_X, with two complex scalars, Phi and S. In this framework, Phi spontaneously breaks the U(1)_X gauge symmetry, while S serves as a viable dark matter…
We propose a scotogenic extension of the Standard Model which can provide a scalar Dark Matter candidate in the new, theoretically previously unaddressed, intermediate region ($200\leq M_{DM}\leq 550$ GeV) and also generate light Dirac…
We present a detailed study of a scotogenic model accommodating dark matter, neutrino masses and the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon while being consistent with the existing constraints on flavour violating decays of the leptons.…
We argue that the higher weak isospin $SU(3)_L$ manifestly unifies dark matter and normal matter in its isomultiplets for which dark matter carries a conserved dark charge while normal matter does not. The resultant gauge symmetry is given…
We perform a feasibility study to probe dark matter (DM) production at the LHC within a global $U(1)_L$ scotogenic model. The study is conducted using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo numerical method, considering the viable parameter space of…
We propose a hybrid scotogenic inverse seesaw framework in which the Majorana mass term is generated at the one-loop level through the inclusion of a singlet fermion. This singlet Majorana fermion also serves as a viable thermal relic dark…
We study the collider, astrophysical and cosmological constraints on the dark matter sector of a conformal model within the framework of both the freeze out as well as the freeze in mechanism. The model has a dark sector with strong self…
We consider a neutrino Two Higgs Doublet Model ($\nu$THDM) in which neutrinos obtain {\it naturally} small Dirac masses from the soft symmetry breaking of a global $U(1)_X$ symmetry. We extended the model so the soft term is generated by…
We extend the standard model with three right-handed singlet neutrinos and a real singlet scalar. We impose two $Z_2$ and $Z_2^\prime$-symmetries. We explain the tiny neutrino mass-squared differences with two $Z_2$- and $Z_2^\prime$-even…
Although the seesaw mechanism is a natural explanation for the small neutrino masses, there are cases when the Majorana mass terms for the right-handed neutrinos are not allowed due to symmetry. In that case, if neutrino-specific Higgs…
We propose and study a new minimal model for two-component dark matter. The model contains only three additional fields, one fermion and two scalars, all singlets under the Standard Model gauge group. Two of these fields, one fermion and…
We study leptogenesis from the decay of the lightest sterile neutrino in the scotogenic model with a scalar dark matter candidate. Our analysis focuses on the possible exponential suppression of washouts for sizable values of the inert…
We analyze the consistency of electroweak breaking, neutrino and dark matter phenomenology within the simplest scoto-seesaw model. By adding the minimal dark sector to the simplest "missing partner" type-I seesaw one has a physical picture…
We study a Dark Matter (DM) model in which the dominant coupling to the standard model occurs through a neutrino-DM-scalar coupling. The new singlet scalar will generically have couplings to nuclei/electrons arising from renormalizable…
It is well-known that the scotogenic model for neutrino mass generation can explain correctly the relic abundance of cold dark matter. There have been claims in the literature that an important part of the parameter space of the simplest…
