Searching for GeV-scale Majorana Dark Matter: inter spem et metum

چکیده
A bstract We suggest a minimal model for GeV-scale Majorana Dark Matter (DM) coupled to the standard lepton sector via charged scalar singlet. show that there is an anti-correlation between spin-independent DM-Nucleus scattering cross section ( σ SI ) and DM relic density parameters values allowed by various theoretical experimental constraints. Moreover, we find even when couplings are of order unity, below current bound but above neutrino floor. Furthermore, considered can be probed at high energy colliders using e.g. mono-Higgs production same-sign Higgs pair production.

Majorana Dark Matter
In this letter in the framework of a simple see-saw scenario with two (or three) quasi degenerate Majorana neutrinos we propose that one of these neutrinos can be very weakly coupled, yet there is a mechanism of the generation of the abundance of such ”dark” neutrino in the early universe. The mechanism of production is due to oscillations between ”dark” Majorana neutrino and one of the Majoran...
متن کاملSearching for Dark Matter
The observational evidence for dark matter on progressively larger cosmic scales is reviewed in a rather pedagogical fashion. Although the emphasis is on dark matter in galaxies and in clusters of galaxies, its cosmological evidence as well as its physical nature are also discussed.
متن کاملGeV-scale dark matter: production at the Main Injector
Assuming that dark matter particles interact with quarks via a GeV-scale mediator, we study dark matter production in fixed target collisions. The ensuing signal in a neutrino near detector consists of neutral-current events with an energy distribution peaked at higher values than the neutrino background. We find that for a Z ′ boson of mass around a few GeV that decays to dark matter particles...
متن کاملSearching for the light dark gauge boson in GeV-scale experiments
We study current constraints and search prospects for a GeV scale vector boson at a range of low energy experiments. It couples to the Standard Model charged particles with a strength ≤ 10−3 − 10−4 of that of the photon. The possibility of such a particle mediating dark matter self-interactions has received much attention recently. We consider searches at low energy high luminosity colliders, m...
متن کاملSearching for Signals of Dark Matter Decay
Dark matter is believed to comprise approximately eighty-three percent of the matter in the universe, yet little is known about how it fits into our picture of the elementary particles that make up the world around us. There are now many great efforts underway to try and detect dark matter and probe the nature of its relation to the Standard Model of particle physics. In this work we investigat...
