Adding a second scalar doublet (η+, η0) and three neutral singlet fermions N1, 2, 3 to the Standard Model of particle interactions with a new Z2 symmetry, it has been shown that [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] is a good dark-matter candidate and seesaw neutrino masses are generated radiatively. A supersymmetric U(1) gauge extension of this new idea is proposed, which enforces the usual R-parity of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, and allows this new Z2 symmetry to emerge as a discrete remnant.

The well-known leptonic U(1) symmetry of the Standard Model (SM) of quarks and leptons is extended to include a number of new fermions and scalars. The resulting theory has an invisible QCD axion (thereby solving the strong CP problem), a candidate for weak-scale dark matter (DM), as well as radiative neutrino masses. A possible key connection is a color-triplet scalar, which may be produced and detected at the Large Hadron Collider.

We propose an extension of the Standard Model of quarks and leptons to include gauge B–L symmetry with an exotic array of neutral fermion singlets for anomaly cancellation. With the addition of suitable scalars also transforming under U(1)[Formula: see text], this becomes a model of radiative seesaw neutrino mass with possible multipartite dark matter. If leptoquark fermions are added, necessarily also transforming under U(1)[Formula: see text], the diphoton excess at 750 GeV, recently observed at the Large Hadron Collider, may also be explained.

Abstract We investigate the nightmare scenario of dark sectors that are made of non-abelian gauge theories with fermions, gravitationally coupled to the Standard Model (SM). While testing these scenarios is experimentally challenging, they are strongly motivated by the accidental stability of dark baryons and pions, that explain the cosmological stability of dark matter (DM). We study the production of these sectors which are minimally populated through gravitational freeze-in, leading to a dark sector temperature much lower than the SM, or through inflaton decay, or renormalizable interactions producing warmer DM. Despite having only gravitational couplings with the SM these scenarios turn out to be rather predictive depending roughly on three parameters: the dark sector temperature, the confinement scale and the dark pion mass. In particular, when the initial temperature is comparable to the SM one these scenarios are very constrained by structure formation, ∆Neff and limits on DM self-interactions. Dark sectors with same temperature or warmer than SM are typically excluded.

This review deals with the recent resurgence of interest in adding a second scalar doublet (η+, η0) to the Standard Model of particle interactions. In most studies, it is taken for granted that η0 should have a nonzero vacuum expectation value, even if it may be very small. What if there is an exactly conserved symmetry which ensures 〈η0 〉 = 0? The phenomenological ramifications of this idea include dark matter, radiative neutrino mass, leptogenesis, and grand unification.

Models of fermion and scalar dark matter abound. Here we consider instead vector dark matter, from an SU(2)N extension of the standard model. It has a number of interesting properties, including a possible implementation of the inverse seesaw mechanism for neutrino mass. The annihilation of dark matter for calculating its relic abundance in this model is not dominated by its cross-section to standard-model particles, but rather to other new particles which are in thermal equilibrium with those of the standard model.

The model of radiative neutrino mass with dark matter proposed by one of us is extended to include a real singlet scalar field. There are then two important new consequences. One is the realistic possibility of having the lightest neutral singlet fermion (instead of the lightest neutral component of the dark scalar doublet) as the dark matter of the universe. The other is a modification of the effective Higgs potential of the Standard Model, consistent with electroweak baryogenesis.

Discovering an electron electric dipole moment (e-EDM) would uncover new physics requiring an extension of the Standard Model. e-EDMs, large enough to be discovered by new experiments are now common predictions in extensions of the Standard Model, including extensions that describe baryogenesis, dark matter, and neutrino mass. A cesium slow-atom e-EDM experiment (which is similar to an atomic clock) can improve the sensitivity to the e-EDM. And, as with an atomic clock, it could be more sensitive in microgravity than on Earth. As a first step an Earth-based demonstration Cs fountain e-EDM experiment has been carried out at LBNL.

We extend the standard model with three right-handed singlet neutrinos and a real singlet scalar. We impose two Z2 and Z2′ symmetries. We explain the tiny neutrino mass-squared differences with two Z2- and Z2′-even right-handed neutrinos using type I seesaw mechanism. The Z2-odd fermion and the Z2′-odd scalar can both serve as viable dark matter candidates. We identify new regions in the parameter space which are consistent with relic density of the dark matter from recent direct search experiments LUX-2016 and XENON1T-2017 and LHC data.
