If dark matter (DM) interacts with the Standard Model (SM) via the kinetic mixing (KM) portal, it necessitates the existence of portal matter (PM) particles which carry both dark and SM quantum numbers that will appear in vacuum polarization-like loop graphs. In addition to the familiar $sim eepsilon Q$ strength, QED-like interaction for the dark photon (DP), in some setups different loop graphs of these PM states can also induce other coupling structures for the SM fermions that may come to dominate in at least some regions of parameter space regions and which can take the form of `dark moments, eg, magnetic dipole-type interactions in the IR, associated with a large mass scale, $Lambda$. In this paper, motivated by a simple toy model, we perform a phenomenological investigation of a possible loop-induced dark magnetic dipole moment for SM fermions, in particular, for the electron. We show that at the phenomenological level such a scenario can not only be made compatible with existing experimental constraints for a significant range of correlated values for $Lambda$ and the dark $U(1)_D$ gauge coupling, $g_D$, but can also lead to quantitatively different signatures once the DP is discovered. In this setup, assuming complex scalar DM to satisfy CMB constraints, parameter space regions where the DP decays invisibly are found to be somewhat preferred if PM mass limits from direct searches at the LHC and our toy model setup are all taken seriously. High precision searches for, or measurements of, the $e^+e^- to gamma +{rm DP}$ process at Belle II are shown to provide some of the strongest future constraints on this scenario.

We find that the nonperturbative physics of the standard-model Higgs Lagrangian provides a dark matter candidate, dormant skyrmion in the standard model, the same type of the skyrmion, a soliton, as in the hadron physics. It is stabilized by another
nonperturbative object in the standard model, the dynamical gauge boson of the hidden local symmetry, which is also an analogue of the rho meson.
In any gauge extension of the standard model (SM) of quarks and leptons, there is a minimal set of fermion and scalar multiplets which encompasses all the particles and interactions of the SM. Included within this set, there may be a suitable dark-ma
tter candidate. If not, one may still exist from the judicious addition of a simple fermion or scalar multiplet without any imposed symmetry. Some new examples of such predestined dark matter are discussed.
A weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) is a leading candidate of the dark matter. The WIMP dark matter abundance is determined by the freeze-out mechanism. Once we know the property of the WIMP particle such as the mass and interaction, we can
predict the dark matter abundance. There are, however, several uncertainties in the estimation of the WIMP dark matter abundance. In this work, we focus on the effect from Standard Model thermodynamics. We revisit the estimation of the WIMP dark matter abundance and its uncertainty due to the equation of state (EOS) in the Standard Model. We adopt the up-to-date estimate of the EOS of the Standard Model in the early Universe and find nearly 10% difference in the 1-1000 GeV dark matter abundance, compared to the conventional estimate of the EOS.
Assuming dark matter is absolutely stable due to unbroken dark gauge symmetry and singlet operators are portals to the dark sector, we present a simple extension of the standard seesaw model that can accommodate all the cosmological observations as w
ell as terrestrial experiments available as of now, including leptogenesis, extra dark radiation of $sim 0.08$ (resulting in $N_{rm eff} = 3.130$ the effective number of neutrino species), Higgs inflation, small and large scale structure formation, and current relic density of scalar DM ($X$). The Higgs signal strength is equal to one as in the SM for unbroken $U(1)_X$ case with a scalar dark matter, but it could be less than one independent of decay channels if the dark matter is a dark sector fermion or if $U(1)_X$ is spontaneously broken, because of a mixing with a new neutral scalar boson in the models.
We study electroweak scale Dark Matter (DM) whose interactions with baryonic matter are mediated by a heavy anomalous $Z$. We emphasize that when the DM is a Majorana particle, its low-velocity annihilations are dominated by loop suppressed annihilat
ions into the gauge bosons, rather than by p-wave or chirally suppressed annihilations into the SM fermions. Because the $Z$ is anomalous, these kinds of DM models can be realized only as effective field theories (EFTs) with a well-defined cutoff, where heavy spectator fermions restore gauge invariance at high energies. We formulate these EFTs, estimate their cutoff and properly take into account the effect of the Chern-Simons terms one obtains after the spectator fermions are integrated out. We find that, while for light DM collider and direct detection experiments usually provide the strongest bounds, the bounds at higher masses are heavily dominated by indirect detection experiments, due to strong annihilation into $W^+W^-$, $ZZ$, $Zgamma$ and possibly into $gg$ and $gammagamma$. We emphasize that these annihilation channels are generically significant because of the structure of the EFT, and therefore these models are prone to strong indirect detection constraints. Even though we focus on selected $Z$ models for illustrative purposes, our setup is completely generic and can be used for analyzing the predictions of any anomalous $Z$-mediated DM model with arbitrary charges.
