Dark charge vs electric charge


Abstract in English

We reconsider the question of electric charge quantization, which leads to the existence of a dark charge nontrivially unified with weak isospin in a novel gauge symmetry, $SU(3)_Cotimes SU(2)_Lotimes U(1)_Yotimes U(1)_N$, where $Y$ and $N$ determine the electric and dark charges, respectively. The new model provides neutrino masses and dark matter appropriately, a direct consequence of the dark dynamics. We diagonalize the fermion, scalar, and gauge sectors as well as obtain relevant interactions, taking into account the kinetic mixing of $U(1)_{Y,N}$ gauge bosons. The new physics signals at colliders are examined. The dark matter observables are discussed.
