We investigate the phenomenology of singlet scalar dark matter in a simple B−L gauge extension of the Standard Model where the dark matter particle is charged under the U (1) B−L symmetry.The non-trivial gauge anomalies are cancelled with the introduction of three exotic fermions withWithout the need of any ad-hoc discrete symmetry, the B −L charge plays a crucial role in stabilizing the dark matter. We make a comprehensive study of dark matter phenomenology in the scalar and gauge portals separately. In the gauge-mediated regime, we invoke the LEP-II constraints and dilepton limits of ATLAS on the gauge parameters. A massless physical Goldstone plays a vital role in the scalar-portal dark matter observables, becomes a unique feature of the model. We show the mechanism of generating the light neutrino mass at one-loop level where the dark matter singlet runs in the loop. We shed light on the semi-annihilation and finally, we comment on indirect signals in this framework. * Electronic address:
We investigate Majorana dark matter in a new variant of Uð1Þ L μ −L τ gauge extension of the Standard Model, where the scalar sector is enriched with an inert doublet and a (3, 1, 1=3) scalar leptoquark. We compute the weakly interacting massive particle-nucleon cross section in the leptoquark portal and the relic density mediated by inert doublet components, the leptoquark, and the new Z 0 boson. We constrain the parameter space consistent with the Planck limit on the relic density and the PICO-60 and LUX bounds on the spin-dependent direct detection cross section. Furthermore, we constrain the new couplings from the present experimental data on Brðτ → μν τ ν μ Þ, BrðB → X s γÞ, BrðB 0 → K 0 μ þ μ − Þ, BrðB þ → K þ τ þ τ − Þ, and B s − B s mixing, which occur at the one-loop level in the presence of the Z 0 and leptoquark. Using the allowed parameter space, we estimate the form-factor-independent P 0 4;5 observables and the lepton nonuniversality parameters R K , R K Ã , and R ϕ. We also briefly discuss neutrino mass generation at the oneloop level and the viable parameter region to explain current neutrino oscillation data.
We present a comprehensive study of Majorana dark matter in a U (1) B−L gauge extension of the standard model, where three exotic fermions with B − L charges as −4, −4, +5 are added to make the model free from the triangle gauge anomalies. The enriched scalar sector and the new heavy gauge boson Z , associated with the U (1) B−L symmetry make the model advantageous to be explored in dual portal scenarios for the search of dark matter signal. Diagonalizing the exotic fermion mass matrix, we obtain the Majorana mass eigenstates, of which the lightest one plays the role of dark matter. Analyzing the effect of two mediators separately, the scalar portal channels give a viable parameter space consistent with relic density from PLANCK data and the direct detection limits from various experiments such as LUX, XENON1T and PandaX. While the Z mediated channels are constrained from relic abundance and LHC searches for Z in the dilepton channel. A massless physical Goldstone boson plays a key role in the scalar portal relic density. Finally, we briefly discuss the neutrino mass generation at one-loop level.
