We explain the $e^+ e^-$ excess observed by the DAMPE Collaboration using a dark matter model based upon the Higgs triplet model and an additional hidden $SU(2)_X$ gauge symmetry. Two of the $SU(2)_X$ gauge bosons are stable due to a residual discrete symmetry and serve as the dark matter candidate. We search the parameter space for regions that can explain the observed relic abundance, and compute the flux of $e^+ e^-$ coming from a nearby dark matter subhalo. With the inclusion of background cosmic rays, we show that the model can render a good fit to the entire energy spectrum covering the AMS-02, Fermi-LAT and DAMPE data.

We propose a flavored $U(1)_{emu}$ neutrino mass and dark matter~(DM) model to explain the recent DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) data, which feature an excess on the cosmic ray electron plus positron flux around 1.4 TeV. Only the first two lep ton generations of the Standard Model are charged under the new $U(1)_{emu}$ gauge symmetry. A vector-like fermion $psi$, which is our DM candidate, annihilates into $e^{pm}$ and $mu^{pm}$ via the new gauge boson $Z$ exchange and accounts for the DAMPE excess. We have found that the data favors a $psi$ mass around 1.5~TeV and a $Z$ mass around 2.6~TeV, which can potentially be probed by the next generation lepton colliders and DM direct detection experiments.
We show that the excess in electron recoil events seen by the XENON1T experiment can be explained by relatively low-mass Luminous Dark Matter candidate. The dark matter scatters inelastically in the detector (or the surrounding rock), to produce a he avier dark state with a ~2.75 keV mass splitting. This heavier state then decays within the detector, producing a peak in the electron recoil spectrum which is a good fit to the observed excess. We comment on the ability of future direct detection datasets to differentiate this model from other Beyond the Standard Model scenarios, and from possible tritium backgrounds, including the use of diurnal modulation, multi-channel signals etc.,~as possible distinguishing features of this scenario.
The flux of high-energy cosmic-ray electrons plus positrons recently measured by the DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) exhibits a tentative peak excess at an energy of around $1.4$ TeV. In this paper, we consider the minimal gauged $U(1)_{B-L}$ m odel with a right-handed neutrino (RHN) dark matter (DM) and interpret the DAMPE peak with a late-time decay of the RHN DM into $e^pm W^mp$. We find that a DM lifetime $tau_{DM} sim 10^{28}$ s can fit the DAMPE peak with a DM mass $m_{DM}=3$ TeV. This favored lifetime is close to the current bound on it by Fermi-LAT, our decaying RHN DM can be tested once the measurement of cosmic gamma ray flux is improved. The RHN DM communicates with the Standard Model particles through the $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge boson ($Z^prime$ boson), and its thermal relic abundance is controlled by only three free parameters: $m_{DM}$, the $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge coupling ($alpha_{BL}$), and the $Z^prime$ boson mass ($m_{Z^prime}$). For $m_{DM}=3$ TeV, the rest of the parameters are restricted to be $m_{Z^prime}simeq 6$ TeV and $0.00807 leq alpha_{BL} leq 0.0149$, in order to reproduce the observed DM relic density and to avoid the Landau pole for the running $alpha_{BL}$ below the Planck scale. This allowed region will be tested by the search for a $Z^prime$ boson resonance at the future Large Hadron Collider.
The inability to predict neutrino masses and the existence of the dark matter are two essential shortcomings of the Standard Model. The Higgs Triplet Model provides an elegant resolution of neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism. We show here that introducing vectorlike leptons in the model also provides a resolution to the problem of dark matter. We investigate constraints, including the invisible decay width of the Higgs boson and the electroweak precision variables, and impose restrictions on model parameters. We analyze the effect of the relic density constraint on the mass and Yukawa coupling of dark matter. We also calculate the cross sections for indirect and direct dark matter detection and show our model predictions for the neutrino and muon fluxes from the Sun, and the restrictions they impose on the parameter space. With the addition of vectorlike leptons, the model is completely consistent with dark matter constraints, in addition to improving electroweak precision and doubly charged mass restrictions, which are rendered consistent with present experimental data.
We analyze the effects of introducing vector-like leptons in the Higgs Triplet Model providing the lightest vector-like neutrino as a Dark Matter candidate. We explore the effect of the relic density constraint on the mass and Yukawa coupling of dark matter, as well as calculate the cross sections for indirect and direct dark matter detection. We show our model predictions for the neutrino and muon fluxes from the Sun, and the restrictions they impose on the parameter space. We show that this model, with a restricted parameter space, is completely consistent with dark matter constraints, and indicate the resulting mass region for the dark matter.
