With the motivation of simultaneously explaining dark matter and neutrino masses, mixing angles, we have invoked the Type-II seesaw model extended by an extra $SU(2)$ doublet $Phi$. Moreover, we have imposed a $mathbb{Z}_2$ parity on $Phi$ which remains unbroken as the vacuum expectation value of $Phi$ is zero. Consequently, the lightest neutral component of $Phi$ becomes naturally stable and can be a viable dark matter candidate. On the other hand, light Majorana masses for neutrinos have been generated following usual Type-II seesaw mechanism. Further in this framework, for the first time, we have derived the full set of vacuum stability and unitarity conditions, which must be satisfied to obtain a stable vacuum as well as to preserve the unitarity of the model respectively. Thereafter, we have performed extensive phenomenological studies of both dark matter and neutrino sectors considering all possible theoretical and current experimental constraints. Finally, we have also discussed a qualitative collider signatures of dark matter and associated odd particles at the 13 TeV Large Hadron Collider.

We explore the connection between Dark Matter and neutrinos in a model inspired by radiative Type-II seessaw and scotogenic scenarios. In our model, we introduce new electroweakly charged states (scalars and a vector-like fermion) and impose a discrete $mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. Neutrino masses are generated at the loop level and the lightest $mathbb{Z}_2$-odd neutral particle is stable and it can play the role of a Dark Matter candidate. We perform a numerical analysis of the model showing that neutrino masses and flavour structure can be reproduced in addition to the correct dark matter density, with viable DM masses from 700 GeV to 30 TeV. We explore direct and indirect detection signatures and show interesting detection prospects by CTA, Darwin and KM3Net and highlight the complementarity between these observables.
In the framework of type II seesaw mechanism we discuss the number of sterile right-handed Majorana neutrinos being the warm dark matter (WDM). When the type II seesaw mass term $M_ u ^{II}$ is far less than the type I seesaw mass term $M_ u ^{I}$, only one of three sterile neutrinos may be the WDM particle. On the contrary, the WDM particles may contain all sterile neutrinos. If $M_ u ^{II} sim M_ u ^{I}$, the allowed number is not more than $N - 1$ for $N$ sterile neutrinos. It is worthwhile to stress that three different types of neutrino mass spectrum are permitted when $M_ u ^{II} gg M_ u ^{I}$ and $M_ u ^{II} sim M_ u ^{I}$.
We study $S_{4}$ flavor symmetric inverse seesaw model which has the possibility of simultaneously addressing neutrino phenomenology, dark matter (DM) and baryon asymmetry of the universe (BAU) through leptogenesis. The model is the extension of the standard model by the addition of two right handed neutrinos and three sterile fermions leading to a keV scale sterile neutrino dark matter and two pairs of quasi-Dirac states. The CP violating decay of the lightest quasi- Dirac pair present in the model generates lepton asymmetry which then converts to baryon asymmetry of the universe. Thus this model can provide a simultaneous solution for non zero neutrino mass, dark matter content of the universes and the observed baryon asymmetry. The $S_{4}$ flavor symmetry in this model is augmented by additional $Z_{4}times Z_{3}$ symmetry to constrain the Yukawa Lagrangian. A detailed numerical analysis has been carried out to obtain dark matter mass, DM-active mixing as well as BAU both for normal hierarchy as well as inverted hierarchy. We have tried to correlate the two cosmological observables and found a common parameter space satisfying the DM phenomenology and BAU. The parameter space of the model is further constrained from the latest cosmological bounds on the above mentioned observables.
We calculate the relic density of the lightest neutralino in a supersymmetric seesaw type-II (``triplet seesaw) model with minimal supergravity boundary conditions at the GUT scale. The presence of a triplet below the GUT scale, required to explain measured neutrino data in this setup, leads to a characteristic deformation of the sparticle spectrum with respect to the pure mSugra expectations, affecting the calculated relic dark matter (DM) density. We discuss how the DM allowed regions in the (m_0,M_{1/2}) plane change as a function of the (type-II) seesaw scale. We also compare the constraints imposed on the models parameter space form upper limits on lepton flavour violating (LFV) decays to those imposed by DM. Finally, we briefly comment on uncertainties in the calculation of the relic neutralino density due to uncertainties in the measured top and bottom masses.
In an endeavor to explain the light neutrino masses and dark matter (DM) simultaneously, we study a gauged $U(1)_{rm B-L}$ extension of the standard model (SM). The neutrino masses are generated through a variant of type-II seesaw mechanism in which one of the scalar triplets has a mass in a scale that is accessible at the present generation colliders. Three right chiral fermions $chi_{iR}$($i=e,mu,tau$) with $rm B-L$ charges -4, -4, +5 are invoked to cancel the $rm B-L$ gauge anomalies and the lightest one among these three fermions becomes a viable DM candidate as their stability is guaranteed by a remnant $mathcal Z_2$ symmetry to which $U(1)_{rm B-L}$ gauge symmetry gets spontaneously broken. Interestingly in this scenario, the neutrino mass and the co-annihilation of DM are interlinked through the breaking of $U(1)_{rm B-L}$ symmetry. Apart from giving rise to the observed neutrino mass and dark matter abundance, the model also predicts exciting signals at the colliders especially regarding the discovery of the triplet scalar in presence of the $rm B-L$ gauge boson. We see a $(34-54)%$ enhancement in the production of the TeV scale doubly charged scalar in presence of the $Z_{rm BL}$ gauge boson in a mass range $2.5$ TeV to $4.4$ TeV. We discuss all the relevant constraints on model parameters from observed DM abundance and null detection of DM at direct and indirect search experiments as well as the constraints on the $rm B-L$ gauge boson from recent colliders.
