Supersymmetry is one of the best motivated new physics scenarios. To build a realistic supersymmetric standard model, however, a companion symmetry is necessary to address various issues. While R-parity is a popular candidate that can address the proton and dark matter issues simultaneously, it is not the only option for such a property. We review how a TeV scale U(1)′ gauge symmetry can replace the R-parity. Discrete symmetries of the U(1)′ can make the model still viable and attractive with distinguishable phenomenology. For instance, with a residual discrete symmetry of the U(1)′, Z6 = B3 × U2, the proton can be protected by the baryon triality (B3) and a hidden sector dark matter candidate can be protected by the U-parity (U2).

Abstract Multi-component dark matter scenarios are studied in the model with U(1)X dark gauge symmetry that is broken into its product subgroup Z2 × Z3 á la Krauss-Wilczek mechanism. In this setup, there exist two types of dark matter fields, X and Y, distinguished by different Z2 × Z3 charges. The real and imaginary parts of the Z2-charged field, XR and XI, get different masses from the U(1)X symmetry breaking. The field Y, which is another dark matter candidate due to the unbroken Z3 symmetry, belongs to the Strongly Interacting Massive Particle (SIMP)-type dark matter. Both XI and XR may contribute to Y’s 3 → 2 annihilation processes, opening a new class of SIMP models with a local dark gauge symmetry. Depending on the mass difference between XI and XR, we have either two-component or three-component dark matter scenarios. In particular two- or three-component SIMP scenarios can be realised not only for small mass difference between X and Y, but also for large mass hierarchy between them, which is a new and unique feature of the present model. We consider both theoretical and experimental constraints, and present four case studies of the multi-component dark matter scenarios.

Abstract A model, which extends the standard model with a new chiral U(1)′ gauge symmetry sector, for the eV-mass sterile neutrino is constructed. It is basically fixed by anomaly free conditions. The lightness of the sterile neutrino has a natural explanation. As a by product, this model provides a WIMP-like dark matter candidate.

We consider a dark matter scenario in the context of the minimal extension of the Standard Model (SM) with a B-L (baryon number minus lepton number) gauge symmetry, where three right-handed neutrinos with a B-L charge -1 and a B-L Higgs field with a B-L charge +2 are introduced to make the model anomaly-free and to break the B-L gauge symmetry, respectively. The B-L gauge symmetry breaking generates Majorana masses for the right-handed neutrinos. We introduce a Z2 symmetry to the model and assign an odd parity only for one right-handed neutrino, and hence the Z2-odd right-handed neutrino is stable and the unique dark matter candidate in the model. The so-called minimal seesaw works with the other two right-handed neutrinos and reproduces the current neutrino oscillation data. We consider the case that the dark matter particle communicates with the SM particles through the B-L gauge boson (ZB-L′ boson) and obtain a lower bound on the B-L gauge coupling (αB-L) as a function of the ZB-L′ boson mass (mZ′) from the observed dark matter relic density. On the other hand, we interpret the recent LHC Run-2 results on the search for a Z′ boson resonance to an upper bound on αB-L as a function of mZ′. These two constraints are complementary for narrowing down an allowed parameter region for this “Z′ portal” dark matter scenario, leading to a lower mass bound of mZ′≥3.9 TeV.
