Dark vector-gauge-boson model

Abstract

A model based on $SU(3{)}_{C}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}SU(2{)}_{L}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}U(1{)}_{Y}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}SU(2{)}_{N}$ has recently been proposed, where the $SU(2{)}_{N}$ vector gauge bosons are neutral, so that a vector dark-matter candidate is possible and constrained by data to be less than about 1 TeV. We explore further implications of this model, including a detailed study of its Higgs sector. We improve on its dark-matter phenomenology, as well as its discovery reach at the Large Hadron Collider.
