Correlating neutrino magnetic moment and scalar triplet dark matter to enlighten XENONnT bounds in a type II radiative seesaw model

Abstract

We investigate neutrino magnetic moment, triplet scalar dark matter in a type II radiative seesaw scenario. With three vectorlike fermion doublets and two scalar triplets, we provide a loop level setup for the electromagnetic vertex of neutrinos. All the scalar multiplet components constitute the total dark matter abundance of the Universe and also their scattering cross section with detector lie below the experimental upper limit. Using the consistent parameter space in dark matter domain, we obtain light neutrino mass in sub-eV scale and also magnetic moment in the desired range. We further derive the constraints on neutrino transition magnetic moments, consistent with the XENONnT limit. Published by the American Physical Society 2024
