We present a global study of the simplest scalar phantom dark matter model. The best fit parameters of the model are determined by simultaneously imposing (i) relic density constraint from WMAP, (ii) 225 live days data from direct experiment XENON100, (iii) upper limit of gamma-ray flux from Fermi-LAT indirect detection based on dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies, and (iv) the Higgs boson candidate with a mass about 125 GeV and its invisible branching ratio no larger than 40% if the decay of the Higgs boson into a pair of dark matter is kinematically allowed. The allowed parameter space is then used to predict annihilation cross sections for gamma-ray lines, event rates for three processes mono-b jet, single charged lepton and two charged leptons plus missing energies at the Large Hadron Collider, as well as to evaluate the muon anomalous magnetic dipole moment for the model.

One of the simplest viable models for dark matter is an additional neutral scalar, stabilised by a $mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. Using the GAMBIT package and combining results from four independent samplers, we present Bayesian and frequentist global fits of this model. We vary the singlet mass and coupling along with 13 nuisance parameters, including nuclear uncertainties relevant for direct detection, the local dark matter density, and selected quark masses and couplings. We include the dark matter relic density measured by Planck, direct searches with LUX, PandaX, SuperCDMS and XENON100, limits on invisible Higgs decays from the Large Hadron Collider, searches for high-energy neutrinos from dark matter annihilation in the Sun with IceCube, and searches for gamma rays from annihilation in dwarf galaxies with the Fermi-LAT. Viable solutions remain at couplings of order unity, for singlet masses between the Higgs mass and about 300 GeV, and at masses above $sim$1 TeV. Only in the latter case can the scalar singlet constitute all of dark matter. Frequentist analysis shows that the low-mass resonance region, where the singlet is about half the mass of the Higgs, can also account for all of dark matter, and remains viable. However, Bayesian considerations show this region to be rather fine-tuned.
Left-Right symmetric model (LRSM) has been an attractive extension of the Standard Model (SM) which can address the origin of parity violation in the SM electroweak (EW) interactions, generate tiny neutrino masses, accommodate dark matter (DM) candid ates and provide a natural framework for baryogenesis through leptogenesis. In this work we utilize the minimal LRSM to study the recently reported DAMPE results of cosmic $e^+e^-$ spectrum which exhibits a tentative peak around 1.4 TeV, while satisfying the current neutrino data. We propose to explain the DAMPE peak with a complex scalar DM $chi$ in two scenarios: 1) $chichi^* to H_1^{++}H_1^{--} to ell_i^+ell_i^+ell_j^-ell_j^-$; 2) $chichi^* to H_{k}^{++}H_{k}^{--} to ell_i^+ell_i^+ell_j^-ell_j^-$ accompanied by $chichi^* to H_1^+ H_1^- to ell_i^+ u_{ell_i} ell_j^- u_{ell_j}$ with $ell_{i,j}=e,mu,tau$ and $k=1,2$. We fit the theoretical prediction on $e^+e^-$ spectrum to relevant experimental data to determine the scalar mass spectrum favored by the DAMPE excess. We also consider various constraints from theoretical principles, collider experiments as well as DM relic density and direct search experiments. We find that there are ample parameter space which can interpret the DAMPE data while passing the constraints. Our explanations, on the other hand, usually imply the existence of other new physics at the energy scale ranging from $10^7 {rm GeV}$ to $10^{11} {rm GeV}$. Collider tests of our explanations are also discussed.
The longstanding $4.2 , sigma$ muon $g-2$ anomaly may be the result of a new particle species which could also couple to dark matter and mediate its annihilations in the early universe. In models where both muons and dark matter carry equal charges u nder a $U(1)_{L_mu-L_tau}$ gauge symmetry, the corresponding $Z^prime$ can both resolve the observed $g-2$ anomaly and yield an acceptable dark matter relic abundance, relying on annihilations which take place through the $Z^prime$ resonance. Once the value of $(g-2)_{mu}$ and the dark matter abundance are each fixed, there is very little remaining freedom in this model, making it highly predictive. We provide a comprehensive analysis of this scenario, identifying a viable range of dark matter masses between approximately 10 and 100 MeV, which falls entirely within the projected sensitivity of several accelerator-based experiments, including NA62, NA64$mu$, $M^3$, and DUNE. Furthermore, portions of this mass range predict contributions to $Delta N_{rm eff}$ which could ameliorate the tension between early and late time measurements of the Hubble constant, and which could be tested by Stage 4 CMB experiments.
We present a scalar dark matter (DM) model where DM ($X_I$) is stabilized by a local $Z_2$ symmetry originating from a spontaneously broken local dark $U(1)_X$. Compared with the usual scalar DM with a global $Z_2$ symmetry, the local $Z_2$ model pos sesses three new extra fields, dark photon $Z^{}$, dark Higgs $phi$ and the excited partner of scalar DM ($X_R$), with the kinetic mixing and Higgs portal interactions dictated by local dark gauge invariance. The resulting model can accommodate thermal relic density of scalar DM without conflict with the invisible Higgs branching ratio and the bounds from DM direct detections, thanks to the newly opened channels, $X_I X_I rightarrow Z^{} Z^{}, phiphi$. In particular, due to the new particles, the ${rm GeV}$ scale $gamma$-ray excess from the Galactic Center (GC) can be originated from the decay of dark Higgs boson which is produced in DM annihilations.

The cold dark matter (CDM) candidate with weakly interacting massive particles can successfully explain the observed dark matter relic density in cosmic scale and the large-scale structure of the Universe. However, a number of observations at the sat ellite galaxy scale seem to be inconsistent with CDM simulation. This is known as the small-scale problem of CDM. In recent years, it has been demonstrated that self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) with a light mediator offers a reasonable explanation for the small-scale problem. We adopt a simple model with SIDM and focus on the effects of Sommerfeld enhancement. In this model, the dark matter candidate is a leptonic scalar particle with a light mediator. We have found several regions of the parameter space with proper masses and coupling strength generating a relic density that is consistent with the observed CDM relic density. Furthermore, this model satisfies the constraints of recent direct searches and indirect detection for dark matter as well as the effective number of neutrinos and the observed small-scale structure of the Universe. In addition, this model with the favored parameters can resolve the discrepancies between astrophysical observations and $N$-body simulations.
