Abstract The goal of this work is to find the simplest UV completion of Accidental Composite Dark Matter Models (ACDM) that can dynamically generate an asymmetry for the DM candidate, the lightest dark baryon (DCb), and simultaneously annihilate the symmetric component. In this framework the DCb is a bound state of a confining SU(N)DC gauge group, and can interact weakly with the visible sector. The constituents of the DCb can possess non-trivial charges under the Standard Model gauge group. The generation of asymmetry for such candidate is a two-flavor variation of the out-of-equilibrium decay of a heavy scalar, with mass Mϕ ≳ 1010 GeV. Below the scale of the scalars, the models recover accidental stability, or long-livedness, of the DM candidate. The symmetric component is annihilated by residual confined interactions provided that the mass of the DCb mDCb ≲ 75 TeV. We implement the mechanism of asymmetry generation, or a variation of it, in all the original ACDM models, managing to generate the correct asymmetry for DCb of masses in this range. For some of the models found, the stability of the DM candidate is not spoiled even considering generic GUT completions or asymmetry generation mechanisms in the visible sector.

A simple model is constructed based on the gauge symmetry [Formula: see text], with only the leptons transforming nontrivially under [Formula: see text]. The extended symmetry is broken down to the Standard Model gauge group at TeV-scale energies. We show that this model provides a mechanism for baryogenesis via leptogenesis in which the lepton number asymmetry is generated by [Formula: see text] instantons. The theory also contains a dark matter candidate — the [Formula: see text] partner of the right-handed neutrino.

AbstractIn the $$\mu \nu $$ μ ν SSM, the presence of R-parity violating couplings involving right-handed (RH) neutrinos solves simultaneously the $$\mu $$ μ - and $$\nu $$ ν -problems. We explore extensions of the $$\mu \nu $$ μ ν SSM adding a $$U(1)'$$ U ( 1 ) ′ gauge group, which provides the RH neutrinos with a non-vanishing charge. In these models, dubbed U$$\mu \nu $$ μ ν SSM, the anomaly cancellation conditions impose the presence of exotic quarks in the spectrum that are vector-like under the standard model (SM) gauge group: either three pairs SU(2) quark singlets, or a pair of quark singlets together with a pair of quark doublets. Several singlets under the SM group can also be present, with the $$U(1)'$$ U ( 1 ) ′ charges making distinctions among them, and therefore allowing different types of couplings. Some of these singlets dynamically generate Majorana masses for the RH neutrinos, and others can be candidates for dark matter. The useful characteristics of models with $$U(1)'$$ U ( 1 ) ′ s are also present in U$$\mu \nu $$ μ ν SSM models: baryon-number-violating operators as well as explicit Majorana masses and $$\mu $$ μ terms are forbidden, and the domain wall problem is avoided. The phenomenology of U$$\mu \nu $$ μ ν SSM models is very rich. We analyze the experimental constraints on their parameter space, specially on the mass and mixing of the new $$Z'$$ Z ′ boson. In addition to the exotic quarks, which can hadronize inside the detector or decay producing SM particles, the U$$\mu \nu $$ μ ν SSM models can also have new signals such as decays of the $$Z'$$ Z ′ to sparticle pairs like right sneutrinos, charginos or neutralinos. Besides, $$Z'$$ Z ′ and Higgs mediated annihilations and interactions with the visible sector of WIMP dark matter particles, can also be present.

With multi-spinor fields which behave as triple-tensor products of the Dirac spinors, the Standard Model is extended so as to embrace three families of ordinary quarks and leptons in the visible sector and an additional family of exotic quarks and leptons in the dark sector of our Universe. Apart from the gauge and Higgs fields of the Standard Model symmetry G, new gauge and Higgs fields of a symmetry isomorphic to G are postulated to exist in the dark sector. It is the bi-quadratic interaction between visible and dark Higgs fields that opens a main portal to the dark sector. Breakdowns of the visible and dark electroweak symmetries result in the Higgs boson with mass 125 GeV and a new boson which can be related to the diphoton excess around 750 GeV. Subsequent to a common inflationary phase and a reheating period, the visible and dark sectors follow weakly-interacting paths of thermal histories. We propose scenarios for dark matter in which no dark nuclear reaction takes place. A candidate for the main component of the dark matter is a stable dark hadron with spin 3/2, and the upper limit of its mass is estimated to be 15.1 GeV/c2.

Recent papers contributed revitalizing the study of the exceptional Jordan algebra $\mathfrak{h}_{3}(\mathbb{O})$ in its relations with the true Standard Model gauge group $\mathrm{G}_{SM}$. The absence of complex representations of $\mathrm{F}_{4}$ does not allow $\Aut\left(\mathfrak{h}_{3}(\mathbb{O})\right)$ to be a candidate for any Grand Unified Theories, but the automorphisms of the complexification of this algebra, i.e., $\mathfrak{h}_{3}^{\mathbb{C}}(\mathbb{O})$, are isomorphic to the compact form of $\mathrm{E}_{6}$ and similar constructions lead to the gauge group of the minimal left-right symmetric extension of the Standard Model.

A model for electroweak unification of quarks and leptons, in a gauge group SUC(3) × SU(4) × UX(1) is constructed. The model requires, three generations of quarks and leptons which are replicas (mirror) of the standard quarks and leptons. The gauge group SU(4) × UX(1) is broken in such a way so as to reproduce standard model and to generate heavy masses for the vector bosons [Formula: see text], the leptoquarks and mirror fermions. It is shown lower limit on mass scale of mirror fermions is [Formula: see text], E- being the lightest mirror fermion coupled to Z boson. As the universe expands, the heavy matter is decoupled at an early stage of expansion and may be a source of dark matter. Leptoquarks in the model connect the standard model and mirror fermions. Baryon genesis in our universe implies antibaryon genesis in mirror universe.

We consider supersymmetric SO(10) grand unification where the unified gauge group can break to the Standard Model gauge group through different chains. The breaking of SO(10) necessarily involves the reduction of the rank, and consequent generation of nonuniversal supersymmetry breaking scalar mass terms. We derive squark and slepton mass relations, taking into account these nonuniversal contributions to the sfermion masses, which can help distinguish between the different chains through which the SO(10) gauge group breaks to the Standard Model gauge group. We then study some implications of these nonuniversal supersymmetry breaking scalar masses for the low energy phenomenology.

The most important discovery in particle physics in recent years was that of the Higgs boson, and much effort is continuing to measure its properties, which agree obstinately with the Standard Model, so far. However, there are many reasons to expect physics beyond the Standard Model, motivated by the stability of the electroweak vacuum, the existence of dark matter and the origin of the visible matter in the Universe, neutrino physics, the hierarchy of mass scales in physics, cosmological inflation and the need for a quantum theory for gravity. Most of these issues are being addressed by the experiments during Run 2 of the LHC, and supersymmetry could help resolve many of them. In addition to the prospects for the LHC, I also review briefly those for direct searches for dark matter and possible future colliders.

We examine the phenomenology of a low-energy extension of the Standard Model, based on the gauge group SU (3) ⊗ SU (2) ⊗ U (1)⊗ SO (3), with SO(3) operating in the shadow sector. This model offers vacuum νe → νs and νμ → ντ oscillations as the solution of the solar and atmospheric neutrino problems, and it provides a neutral heavy shadow lepton X that takes the role of a cold dark matter particle.
