Title: SO(10) grand unification with minimal dark matter and color octet scalars

Abstract

The minimal dark matter (MDM) scenario is a very simple framework of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) to supplement the SM with a DM candidate. In this paper, we consider an ultraviolet completion of the scenario to an SO(10) grand unified theory, which is a well-motivated framework in light of the neutrino oscillation data. Considering various phenomenological constraints, such as the successful SM gauge coupling unification, the proton stability, and the direct/indirect DM detection constraints as well as the absolute electroweak vacuum stability, we have first singled out the minimal particle content of the MDM scenario at low energies. In addition to the SM particle content, our MDM scenario includes an SU(2)_L quintet scalar DM with a 9.4 TeV mass and three degenerate color-octet scalars with mass of 2 TeV. We then have found a way to embed the minimal particle content into SO(10) representations, in which a remnant Z₂ symmetry after the SO(10) symmetry breaking ensures the stability of the DM particle. The production cross section of the color-octet scalars at the Large Hadron Collider is found to be a few orders of magnitude below the current experimental bound.

Fermionic minimal dark matter in 5D gauge-Higgs unification

Journal Article Maru, Nobuhito ; Okada, Nobuchika ; Okada, Satomi - Physical Review. D.

Here we propose a minimal dark matter (MDM) scenario in the context of a simple gauge-Higgs unification (GHU) model based on the gauge group SU(3) × U(1)' in five-dimensional Minkowski space with a compactification of the fifth dimension on the S¹/Z₂ orbifold. A pair of vectorlike SU(3) multiplet fermions in a higher-dimensional representation is introduced in the bulk, and the DM particle is identified with the lightest mass eigenstate among the components in the multiplets. In the original model description, the DM particle communicates with the Standard Model (SM) particles only through the bulk gauge interaction, and hence our modelmore »« less

Grand unification and light color-octet scalars at the LHC

Journal Article Perez, Pavel Fileviez ; Gavin, Ryan ; McElmurry, Thomas ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We study the properties and production mechanisms of color-octet scalars at the Large Hadron Collider. We focus on the single production of both charged and neutral members of an (8,2){sub 1/2} doublet through bottom-quark initial states. These channels provide a window to the underlying Yukawa structure of the scalar sector. Color-octet scalars naturally appear in grand unified theories based on the SU(5) gauge symmetry. In the context of adjoint SU(5) these fields are expected to be light to satisfy constraints coming from unification and proton decay, and may have TeV-scale masses. One combination of their couplings is defined by themore »« less

Color-octet scalars in Dirac gaugino models with broken R symmetry

Journal Article Carpenter, Linda M. ; Murphy, Taylor - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

In this work we study the collider phenomenology of color-octet scalars (sgluons) in supersymmetric models with Dirac gaugino masses that feature an explicitly broken R symmetry (R-broken models). We construct such models by augmenting minimal R-symmetric models with a fairly general set of supersymmetric and softly supersymmetry-breaking operators that explicitly break R symmetry. We then compute the rates of all significant two-body decays and highlight new features that appear as a result of R symmetry breaking, including enhancements to extant decay rates, novel tree- and loop-level decays, and improved cross sections of single sgluon production. We demonstrate in some detailmore »« less

Pseudo-Goldstone dark matter in $S O (10)$

We propose a pseudo-Goldstone boson dark matter (pGDM) particle in SO(10) grand unified theory (GUT). Due to its Goldstone nature, this pGDM evades the direct DM detection experiments which, otherwise, severely constrain the parameter space of DM models. In SO(10), the pGDM is embedded as a linear combination of the Standard Model (SM) singlet scalars in 16_H andmore »« less
