TL;DR

This paper introduces a supersymmetric $U(1)_X$ model with right-handed Majorana neutrino dark matter, where gauge symmetry and R-parity are broken at the TeV scale, providing a viable dark matter candidate and linking collider and cosmological observations.

Contribution

It presents a novel supersymmetric $U(1)_X$ extension with a $Z_2$-parity, where dark matter remains viable despite R-parity breaking, and explores collider and cosmological constraints.

Findings

Dark matter candidate remains viable with broken R-parity.

Enhanced annihilation cross section via $Z'$ resonance matches observed relic abundance.

Parameter space constrained by LHC $Z'$ searches and relic abundance data.

Abstract

We propose a supersymmetric extension of the minimal $U(1)_X$ model, along with a new $Z_2$-parity. One of the salient features of this model relates to how both the $U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry and R-parity are broken radiatively at the TeV scale by the VEV of a $Z_2$-even right handed neutrino. By assigning one right-handed neutrino $Z_2$-odd parity, it can remain a viable dark matter (DM) candidate, despite R-parity being broken. Furthermore, the DM relic abundance receives an enhanced annihilation cross section due to the $U(1)_X$ gauge boson ($Z'$) resonance and is in agreement with the current observations. We have also found a complementarity that exists between the observed DM relic abundance and search results for the $Z^\prime$ boson resonance at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), which further constrains the parameter space of our $U(1)_X$ model. Lastly, we consider a $SU(5)\times U(1)_x$ GUT extension and investigate the complementarities mentioned previously.
