Odd Decays from Even Anomalies: Gauge Mediation Signatures Without SUSY

TL;DR

This paper explores a 5D extension of the Standard Model with anomalous symmetries, predicting signatures similar to gauge-mediated supersymmetry and proposing a new scalar dark matter candidate.

Contribution

It introduces a novel 5D model with anomalous symmetries that mimics gauge mediation signatures and proposes a new scalar dark matter candidate.

Findings

Model predicts supersymmetry-like signatures without SUSY

Proposes a new scalar dark matter candidate

Provides phenomenological analysis of anomalies in extra dimensions

Abstract

We analyze the theory and phenomenology of anomalous global chiral symmetries in the presence of an extra dimension. We propose a simple extension of the Standard Model in 5D whose signatures closely resemble those of supersymmetry with gauge mediation, and we suggest a novel scalar dark matter candidate.
