Dark left-right model: CDMS, LHC, etc.

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 WR gauge bosons may also contribute significantly to lepton-flavor-changing processes such as μ eγ and μ - e conversion in a nucleus or muonic atom. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
