Title: Baryon-lepton duplicity as the progenitor of long-lived dark matter

Abstract

In an SU(2)R extension of the standard model, it is shown how the neutral fermion N in the doublet (N,e)R may be assigned baryon number B=1, in contrast to its SU(2)L counterpart ν in the doublet (ν,e)L which has lepton number L=1. This baryon-lepton duplicity allows a scalar σ which couples to NLNL to be long-lived dark matter.

Syndetic extension of baryon and lepton numbers: Proton decay and long-lived dark matter

Journal Article Ma, Ernest ; Tsumura, Koji - Physical Review D

The well-known baryon and lepton numbers of the standard model of quarks and leptons are extended to include new fermions and bosons in a simple structure with several essential features. The usual heavy right-handed neutrino singlets (for neutrino mass and leptogenesis) are related to the axion which solves the strong $CP$ problem. At the same time, baryon number is broken softly, allowing the proton to decay. Associated with this breaking, a long-lived dark-matter candidate (called the pseudosakharon) emerges. This new insight connects proton decay to a new component of dark matter.

Dark Gauge U(1) symmetry for an alternative left–right model

Journal Article Kownacki, Corey ; Ma, Ernest ; Pollard, Nicholas ; ... - European Physical Journal. C, Particles and Fields

An alternative left–right model of quarks and lep-tons, where the SU(2)_R lepton doublet (ν, l)_R is replaced with (n, l)_R so that n_R is not the Dirac mass partner of ν_L, has been known since 1987. Previous versions assumed a global U(1)_S symmetry to allow n to be identified as a dark-matter fermion. We propose here a gauge extension by the addition of extra fermions to render the model free of gauge anomalies, and just one singlet scalar to break U(1)_S.This results in two layers of dark matter, one hidden behind the other.

Generalized lepton number and dark left-right gauge model

Journal Article Khalil, Shaaban ; Department of Mathematics, Ain Shams University, Faculty of Science, Cairo 11566 ; Lee, Hye-Sung ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

In a left-right gauge model of particle interactions, the left-handed fermion doublet ({nu},e){sub L} is connected to its right-handed counterpart (n,e){sub R} through a scalar bidoublet so that e{sub L} pairs with e{sub R}, and {nu}{sub L} with n{sub R} to form mass terms. Suppose the latter link is severed without affecting the former, then n{sub R} is not the mass partner of {nu}{sub L}, and as we show in this paper, becomes a candidate for dark matter which is relevant for the recent PAMELA and ATIC observations. We accomplish this in a specific nonsupersymmetric model, where a generalized leptonmore »« less

Alternative [SU(3)]4 model of leptonic color and dark matter

Journal Article Kownacki, Corey ; Ma, Ernest ; Pollard, Nicholas ; ... - Nuclear Physics. B

Here the alternative [SU(3)]⁴ model of leptonic color and dark matter is discussed. It unifies at M_U ~ 10¹⁴ GeV and has the low-energy subgroup SU(3)_q × SU(2)_l × SU(2)_L × SU(2)_R × U(1)_X with (u, h)_R instead of (u, d)_R as doublets under SU(2)_R. It has the built-in global U(1) dark symmetry which is generalized B–L. In analogy to SU(3)_q quark triplets, it has SU(2)_l hemion doublets which have half-integral charges and are confined by SU(2)_l gauge bosons (stickons). In analogy to quarkonia, their vector bound states (hemionia) are uniquely suited for exploration at a future e^–e⁺ collider.

Dark left-right gauge model: SU(2){sub R} phenomenology

Journal Article Aranda, Alfredo ; Dual C-P Institute of High Energy Physics ; Lorenzo Diaz-Cruz, J ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

In the recently proposed dark left-right gauge model of particle interactions, the left-handed fermion doublet ({nu},e){sub L} is connected to its right-handed counterpart (n,e){sub R} through a scalar bidoublet, but {nu}{sub L} couples to n{sub R} only through {phi}{sub 1}{sup 0} which has no vacuum expectation value. The usual R parity, i.e. R=(-){sup 3B+L+2j}, can be defined for this nonsupersymmetric model so that both n and {Phi}{sub 1} are odd together with W{sub R}{sup {+-}.} The lightest n is thus a viable dark-matter candidate (scotino). Here we explore the phenomenology associated with the SU(2){sub R} gauge group of this model,more »« less
