Revisiting the R$\nu$MDM Models
Abstract
Combining neutrino mass generation and a dark matter candidate in a unified model has always been intriguing. We revisit the class of RMDM models, which incorporate minimal dark matter in radiative neutrino mass models based on the one-loop ultraviolet completions of the Weinberg operator. The possibility of an exact accidental is completely ruled out in this scenario. We study the phenomenology of one of the models with an approximate symmetry. In addition to the Standard Model particles, it contains two real scalar quintuplets, one vector- like quadruplet fermion and a fermionic quintuplet. The neutral component of the fermionic quintuplet serves as a good dark matter candidate which can be tested by the future direct and indirect detection experiments. The constraints from flavor physics and electroweak-scale naturalness are also discussed.
