Pseudoscalar portal dark matter and new signatures of vector-like fermions
Abstract
Fermionic dark matter interacting with the Standard Model sector through a pseudoscalar portal could evade the direct detection constraints while preserving a WIMP miracle. Here, we study the LHC constraints on the pseudoscalar production in simplified models with the pseudoscalar either dominantly coupled to b quarks or $${{\tau}}$$ leptons and explore their implications for the GeV excesses in gamma ray observations. We also investigate models with new vector-like fermions that could realize the simplfied models of pseudoscalar portal dark matter. Furthermore, these models yield new decay channels and signatures of vector-like fermions, for instance, bbb; b$${{\tau}}$$ $${{\tau}}$$, and $${{\tau}}$$ $${{\tau}}$$ $${{\tau}}$$ resonances. Some of the signatures have already been strongly constrained by the existing LHC searches and the parameter space fitting the gamma ray excess is further restricted. Conversely, the pure $${{\tau}}$$-rich final state is only weakly constrained so far due to the small electroweak production rate.
