We consider an anomaly-free $mathrm{U}(1)$ extension of the Standard Model with three right-handed neutrinos (RHNs) and two complex scalars, wherein the charge assignments preclude all tree-level mass terms for the neutrinos. Considering this setup, in turn, to be only a low-energy effective theory, we introduce higher-dimensional terms {em a la} Froggatt-Nielsen to naturally generate tiny neutrino masses. One of the RHNs turns out to be very light, thereby constituting the main decay mode for the $Z$ and hence relaxing the LHC dilepton resonance search constraints. This very RHN has a lifetime comparable to or bigger than the age of the Universe, and, hence, could account for a non-negligible fraction of the dark matter.

Gauged $U(1)_{L_mu - L_tau}$ model has been advocated for a long time in light of muon $g-2$ anomaly, which is a more than $3sigma$ discrepancy between the experimental measurement and the standard model prediction. We augment this model with three r ight-handed neutrinos $(N_e, N_mu, N_tau)$ and a vector-like singlet fermion $(chi)$ to explain simultaneously the non-zero neutrino mass and dark matter content of the Universe, while satisfying anomalous muon $g-2$ constraints. It is shown that in a large parameter space of this model we can explain positron excess, observed at PAMELA, Fermi-LAT and AMS-02, through dark matter annihilation, while satisfying the relic density and direct detection constraints.
The existence of the neutrino mass and flavor mixing have been experimentally verified. These phenomena strongly motivate to extend the Standard Model (SM). Amongst many possibilities, a simple and interesting extension of the SM can be investigated using a general U$(1)_X$ extension of the SM gauge group. Demanding the cancellation of the gauge and mixed gauge gravity anomalies, three right handed neutrinos are introduced in this model where the U$(1)_X$ charge assignment becomes a linear combination of U$(1)_{rm{B-L}}$ and U$(1)_Y$ hyper-charges. After the U$(1)_X$ breaking, an additional neutral gauge boson, $Z^prime$ is evolved and the neutrino mass is generated by the seesaw mechanism. In such a model we investigate the properties of a Dark Matter (DM) candidate which is a massive weakly interacting particle and Dirac type in nature. The stability of the DM is protected by its U$(1)_X$ charge. Using the current bounds on the search results of $Z^prime$ at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the dark matter relic abundance we find a phenomenologically viable parameter space of our scenario.
We consider minimal $U(1)$ extensions of the Standard Model in which one of the right-handed neutrinos is charged under the new gauge symmetry and plays the role of dark matter. In particular, we perform a detailed phenomenological study for the case of a $U(1)_{(B-L)_3}$ flavoured $B-L$ symmetry. If perturbativity is required up to high-scales, we find an upper bound on the dark matter mass of $m_chilesssim2$ TeV, significantly stronger than that obtained in simplified models. Furthermore, if the $U(1)_{(B-L)_3}$ breaking scalar has significant mixing with the SM Higgs, there are already strong constraints from direct detection. On the other hand, there remains significant viable parameter space in the case of small mixing, which may be probed in the future via LHC $Z^prime$ searches and indirect detection. We also comment on more general anomaly-free symmetries consistent with a TeV-scale RH neutrino dark matter candidate, and show that if two heavy RH neutrinos for leptogenesis are also required, one is naturally led to a single-parameter class of $U(1)$ symmetries.
We identify a class of $U(1)_X$ models which can explain the $R_K$ anomaly and the neutrino mixing pattern, by using a bottom-up approach. The different $X$-charges of lepton generations account for the lepton universality violation required to expla in $R_K$. In addition to the three right-handed neutrinos needed for the Type-I seesaw mechanism, these minimal models only introduce an additional doublet Higgs and a singlet scalar. While the former helps in reproducing the quark mixing structure, the latter gives masses to neutrinos and the new gauge boson $Z^prime$. Our bottom-up approach determines the $X$-charges of all particles using theoretical consistency and experimental constraints. We find the parameter space allowed by the constraints from neutral meson mixing, rare $bto s$ decays and direct collider searches for $Z^prime$. Such a $Z^prime$ may be observable at the ongoing run of the Large Hadron Collider with a few hundred fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity.
Extensions of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) gauge group abound in the literature. Several of these include an additional $U(1)_X$ gauge group. Chiral fermions charge assignments under $U(1)_X$ are constrained to cancel local anomal ies in the extension and they determine the structure and phenomenology of it. We provide all anomaly-free charge assignments up to a maximum absolute charge of $Q_text{max}=10$, assuming that the chiral superfield content of the model is that of the MSSM plus up to three Standard Model (SM) singlet superfields. The fermionic components of these SM singlets may play the r^{o}le of right-handed neutrinos, whereas one of the scalar components may play the r^{o}le of the flavon, spontaneously breaking $U(1)_X$. Easily scanned lists of the charge assignments are made publicly available on Zenodo. For the case where no restriction is placed upon $Q_text{max}$, we also provide an analytic parameterisation of the general solution using simple techniques from algebraic geometry.
