Dark Matter with Flavor Symmetry and its Collider Signature

TL;DR

This paper proposes a theoretical framework linking dark matter to standard-model flavor symmetry, predicting a distinctive collider signature of two jets, a muon, an electron, and missing energy, which can be tested at the LHC.

Contribution

It introduces a novel flavor-based model of dark matter that predicts specific collider signatures for experimental verification.

Findings

Predicted collider signature: 2 jets + μ ± + e ∓ + missing energy

Theoretical basis connecting dark matter to flavor symmetry

Potential for experimental testing at the LHC

Abstract

The notion that dark matter and standard-model matter are connected through flavor implies a generic collider signature of the type 2 jets + $\mu^\pm$ + $e^\mp$ + missing energy. We discuss the theoretical basis of this proposal and its verifiability at the Large Hadron Collider.
