# Dark Matter, Neutrino mass, Cutoff for Cosmic-Ray Neutrino, and Higgs Boson Invisible Decay from a Neutrino Portal Interaction

## TL;DR

This paper explores a neutrino portal model with gauge singlets as dark matter candidates, analyzing their cosmological, collider, and astrophysical implications, including effects on neutrino propagation and cosmic-ray neutrino cutoff.

## Contribution

It introduces a neutrino portal interaction framework with gauge singlets as dark matter, linking collider signals, neutrino physics, and cosmic-ray observations.

## Key findings

- Dark matter can be thermally produced via (co)annihilation.
- Future lepton colliders can test dark matter with mass > 2 GeV.
- Cosmic-ray neutrino cutoff can be explained and used to measure neutrino mass.

## Abstract

We study an effective theory beyond the standard model (SM) where either of two additional gauge singlets, a Majorana fermion and a real scalar, constitutes all or some fraction of dark matter. In particular, we focus on the masses of the two singlets in the range of O(10) MeV-O(10) GeV, with a neutrino portal interaction which plays important roles not only in particle physics but also in cosmology and astronomy. We point out that the dark matter abundance can be thermally explained with (co)annihilation, where the dark matter with a mass greater than 2 GeV can be tested in future lepton colliders, CEPC, ILC, FCC-ee and CLIC, in the light of the Higgs boson invisible decay. When the gauge singlets are lighter than O(100)MeV, the interaction can affect the neutrino propagation in the universe due to its annihilation with the cosmic background neutrino into the gauge singlets. Although can not be the dominant dark matter in this case, the singlets are produced by the invisible decay of the Higgs boson at a rate fully within the reach of the future lepton colliders. In particular, a high energy cutoff of cosmic-ray neutrino, which may account for the non-detection of Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin (GZK) neutrinos or non-observation of Glashow resonance, can be set. Interestingly, given the cutoff and the mass (range) of the WIMP, a neutrino mass can be "measured" kinematically.
