Dark Left-Right Model: CDMS, LHC, etc

TL;DR

This paper proposes a dark left-right model extending the Standard Model with new gauge bosons and fermions, suggesting potential observability at the LHC and implications for dark matter and lepton-flavor-changing processes.

Contribution

Introduction of a dark left-right model (DLRM2) with a Dirac scotino and a Z' boson around 1-2 TeV, linking dark matter to collider phenomenology.

Findings

Z' gauge boson likely around 1-2 TeV, detectable at LHC

Model explains CDMS data with dark matter candidate

W_R bosons may affect lepton-flavor-changing processes

Abstract

The Standard Model of particle interactions is extended to include fermion doublets (n,e)_R transforming under the gauge group SU(2)_R such that n is a Dirac scotino (dark-matter fermion), with odd R parity. Based on recent CDMS data, it is shown how this new dark left-right model (DLRM2) favors a Z' gauge boson at around 1 or 2 TeV and be observable at the LHC. The new W_R gauge bosons may also contribute significantly to lepton-flavor-changing processes such as mu to e gamma and mu-e conversion in a nucleus or muonic atom.
