We study the dark matter phenomenology of scotogenic frameworks through the rather illustrative model T1-2A extending the Standard Model by scalar and fermionic singlets and doublets. Such a setup is phenomenologically attractive since it provides the radiative generation of neutrino masses, while also including viable candidates for cold dark matter. We employ a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm to explore the associated parameter space in view of numerous constraints stemming from the Higgs mass, the neutrino sector, dark matter, and lepton-flavour violating processes. After a general discussion of the results, we focus on the case of fermionic dark matter, which remains rather uncovered in the literature so far. We discuss the associated phenomenology and show that in this particular case a rather specific mass spectrum is expected with fermion masses just above 1 TeV. Our study may serve as a guideline for future collider studies.
We study an extension of the minimal gauged $L_{mu}-L_{tau}$ model in order to explain the anomalous magnetic moments of muon and electron simultaneously. Presence of an additional scalar doublet $eta$ and an in-built $Z_2$ symmetry under which the right handed singlet fermions and $eta$ are odd, leads to light neutrino mass in scotogenic fashion along with a stable dark matter candidate. In spite of the possibility of having positive and negative contributions to $(g-2)$ from vector boson and charged scalar loops respectively, the minimal scotogenic $L_{mu}-L_{tau}$ model can not explain muon and electron $(g-2)$ simultaneously while being consistent with other experimental bounds. We then extend the model with a vector like lepton doublet which not only leads to a chirally enhanced negative contribution to electron $(g-2)$ but also leads to the popular singlet-doublet fermion dark matter scenario. With this extension, the model can explain both electron and muon $(g-2)$ while being consistent with neutrino mass, dark matter and other direct search bounds. The model remains predictive at high energy experiments like collider as well as low energy experiments looking for charged lepton flavour violation, dark photon searches, in addition to future $(g-2)$ measurements.
We study a simplest viable dark matter model with a real singlet scalar, vector-like singlet and a doublet lepton. We find a considerable enhancement in the allowed region of the scalar dark matter parameter spaces under the influence of the new Yukawa coupling. The Yukawa coupling associate with the fermion sector heavily dominant the dark matter parameter spaces satisfying the current relic density of the Universe. Dilepton$+slashed{E}_T$ signature arising from the new fermionic sector can observe at Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We perform such analysis in the context of 14 TeV LHC experiments with a future integrated luminosity of 3000 ${rm fb^{-1}}$. We found that a large region of the parameter spaces can be probed by the LHC experiments. The projected exclusion/discovery reach of direct heavy charged fermion searches in this channels is analyzed by performing a detailed cut based collider analysis. The projected exclusion contour reaches up to $1050-1380~{rm GeV}$ for 3000 ${rm fb^{-1}}$ for a light dark matter $mathcal{O}(10)$ GeV from searches in the $ pp rightarrow E_1^pm E_1^mp, E_1^pmrightarrow l^pm S rightarrow ll + slashed{E}_T$ channel.
We examine the collider and dark matter phenomenology of the Standard Model extended by a hypercharge-zero SU(2) triplet scalar and gauge singlet scalar. In particular, we study the scenario where the singlet and triplet are both charged under a single $mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. We find that such an extension is capable of generating the observed dark matter density, while also modifying the collider phenomenology such that the lower bound on the mass of the triplet is smaller than in minimal triplet scalar extensions to the Standard Model. A high triplet mass is in tension with the parameter space that leads to novel electroweak phase transitions in the early universe. Therefore, the lower triplet masses that are permitted in this extended model are of particular importance for the prospects of successful electroweak baryogenesis and the generation of gravitational waves from early universe phase transitions.
It is well known that for the pure standard model triplet fermionic WIMP-type dark matter (DM), the relic density is satisfied around 2 TeV. For such a heavy mass particle, the production cross-section at 13 TeV run of LHC will be very small. Extending the model further with a singlet fermion and a triplet scalar, DM relic density can be satisfied for even much lower masses. The lower mass DM can be copiously produced at LHC and hence the model can be tested at collider. For the present model we have studied the multi jet ($geq 2,j$) + missing energy ($cancel{E}_{T}$) signal and show that this can be detected in the near future of the LHC 13 TeV run. We also predict that the present model is testable by the earth based DM direct detection experiments like Xenon-1T and in future by Darwin.
We extend the so-called singlet doublet dark matter model, where the dark matter is an admixture of a Standard Model singlet and a pair of electroweak doublet fermions, by a singlet scalar field. The new portal coupling of it with the dark sector not only contributes to the dark matter phenomenology (involving relic density and direct detection limits), but also becomes important for generation of dark matter mass through its vacuum expectation value. While the presence of dark sector fermions affects the stability of the electroweak vacuum adversely, we find this additional singlet is capable of making the electroweak vacuum absolutely stable upto the Planck scale. A combined study of dark matter phenomenology and Higgs vacuum stability issue reflects that the scalar sector mixing angle can be significantly constrained in this scenario.
