B and not L in supersymmetry: new U(1) gauge symmetry and dark matter

TL;DR

This paper proposes a new U(1)_X gauge symmetry in supersymmetry to conserve baryon number B without lepton number L, introducing particles that could serve as dark matter candidates.

Contribution

It introduces a novel U(1)_X gauge symmetry to enforce baryon number conservation in supersymmetry, along with candidate particles for dark matter.

Findings

U(1)_X gauge symmetry can enforce B conservation

New particles under U(1)_X are potential dark matter candidates

Framework offers a solution to baryon number conservation in SUSY

Abstract

To enforce the conservation of baryon number B and not lepton number L in supersymmetry, a new U(1)_X gauge symmetry is recommended. An example is offered with new particles interacting under U(1)_X which are good candidates for the dark matter of the Universe.
