We consider an extension of Zee-Babu model to explain the smallness of neutrino masses. (1) We extend the lepton number symmetry of the original model to local $B-L$ symmetry. (2) We introduce three Dirac dark matter candidates with flavor-dependent $B-L$ charges. After the spontaneous breaking of $B-L$, a discrete symmetry $Z_6$ remains, which guarantees the stability of dark matter. Then the model can explain the 3.5 keV X-ray line signal with decaying dark matter. We also introduce a real scalar field which is singlet under both the SM and $U(1)_{B-L}$ and can explain the current relic abundance of the Dirac fermionic DMs. If the mixing with the SM Higgs boson is small, it does not contribute to DM direct detection. The main contribution to the scattering of DM off atomic nuclei comes from the exchange of $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge boson, $Z$, and is suppressed below current experimental bound when $Z$ mass is heavy ($gtrsim 10$ TeV). If the singlet scalar mass is about 0.1--10 MeV, DM self-interaction can be large enough to solve small scale structure problems in simulations with the cold DM, such as, the core-vs-cusp problem and too-big-to-fail problem.

We discuss the 3.55 keV X-ray line anomaly reported by XMN-Newton X-ray observatory using data of various galaxy clusters and Andromeda galaxy in a radiative neutrino model, in which the mixing between the active neutrino and the dark matter is generated at two-loop level after the spontaneous breaking of $Z_2$ symmetry. It might provide us a natural explanation of its tiny mixing ${cal O}(10^{-10})$, which is observed by their experiments. Such an Abelian discrete symmetry plays a crucial role in differentiating the TeV scale Majorana field from our dark matter, whose mass is expect to be around 7.1 keV.
We study a light dark matter in a radiative neutrino model to explain the X-ray line signal at about $3.5$ keV recently reported by XMN-Newton X-ray observatory using data of various galaxy clusters and Andromeda galaxy. The signal requires very tiny mixing between the dark matter and an active neutrino; $sin^2 2thetaapprox 10^{-10}$. It could suggest that such a light dark matter cannot contribute to the observed neutrino masses if we use the seesaw mechanism. In other words, neutrino masses might come a structure different from the dark matter. We propose a model in which Dirac type active neutrino masses are induced at one-loop level. On the other hand the mixing between active neutrino and dark matter are generated at two-loop level. As a result we can explain both the observed neutrino masses and the X-ray line signal from the dark matter decay with rather mild hierarchy of parameters in TeV scale.
We study an exciting dark matter scenario in a radiative neutrino model to explain the X-ray line signal at $3.55$ keV recently reported by XMN-Newton X-ray observatory using data of various galaxy clusters and Andromeda galaxy. We show that the required large cross section for the up-scattering process to explain the X-ray line can be obtained via the resonance of the pseudo-scalar. Moreover this model can be compatible with the thermal production of dark matter and the constraint from the direct detection experiment.
Recently two groups independently observed unidentified X-ray line signal at the energy 3.55 keV from the galaxy clusters and Andromeda galaxy. We show that this anomalous signal can be explained in annihilating dark matter model, for example, fermionic dark matter model in hidden sector with global $U(1)_X$ symmetry proposed by Weinberg. There are two scenarios for the production of the annihilating dark matters. In the first scenario the dark matters with mass 3.55 keV decouple from the interaction with Goldstone bosons and go out of thermal equilibrium at high temperature ($>$ 1 TeV) when they are still relativistic, their number density per comoving volume being essentially fixed to be the current value. The correct relic abundance of this warm dark matter is obtained by assuming that about ${cal O}(10^3)$ relativistic degrees of freedom were present at the decoupling temperature or alternatively large entropy production occurred at high temperature. In the other scenario, the dark matters were absent at high temperature, and as the universe cools down, the SM particles annihilate or decay to produce the dark matters non-thermally as in `freeze-in scenario. It turns out that the DM production from Higgs decay is the dominant one. In the model we considered, only the first scenario can explain both X-ray signal and relic abundance. The X-ray signal arises through $p$-wave annihilation of dark matter pair into two photons through the scalar resonance without violating the constraints from big bang nucleosynthesis, cosmic microwave background, and astrophysical objects such as red giants or white dwarfs. We also discuss the possibility that the signal may result from a decaying dark matter in a simple extension of Weinberg model.
We study a three loop induced radiative neutrino model with global $U(1)$ symmetry at TeV scale, in which we consider two component dark matter particles. We discuss the possibility to explain the X-ray line signal at about 3.55 keV recently reported by XMN-Newton X-ray observatory using data of various galaxy clusters and Andromeda galaxy. Subsequently, we also discuss to show that sizable muon anomalous magnetic moment, a discrepancy of the effective number of neutrino species $Delta N_{rm eff}approx$ 0.39, and scattering cross section detected by direct detection searches can be derived.
