Contribution

It introduces the first SO(10) model incorporating both standard families and a new dark matter fermionic family with sterile neutrinos.

Findings

Estimated masses for dark matter particles and sterile neutrinos.

Constraints on mixing parameters between new particles and active neutrinos.

Potential for guiding experimental searches for dark matter and sterile neutrinos.

Abstract

We consider a novel model for three standard families of left chiral states of quarks and leptons conjointly with a new family of dark matter fermionic particles and a sterile neutrino. It is suggested to use a SO(10) symmetry for description of these families for the first time. It is presented estimations of masses of dark matter particles and the sterile neutrino as well limitations for values of mixing parameters between the new family particles and active neutrinos. This model can be used for predictions and interpretations of results of experiments for sterile neutrino and dark matter particles search.
