WIMP dark matter expected in the parity solution to the strong CP problem.
2018
We construct an extended Standard Model (SM), motivated by the
strong CP problemand
dark matter. In our model, parity symmetry is conserved at high energy by introducing a
mirrorsector with the extra
gauge symmetry, $SU(2)_R \times
U(1)_R$. The charges of $SU(2)_R \times
U(1)_R$ are assigned to the
mirrorfields in the same way as in the SM, but the chirality of the
mirrorfermions is opposite to respect the parity symmetry. The
strong CP problemis resolved, since the
mirrorquarks are also charged under the $SU(3)_c$ in the SM. In the minimal setup, the
mirror
gauge symmetryleads stable colored particles, so that we introduce two scalars in order to avoid the stable colored particle. Interestingly, one of the scalars becomes stable because of the
gauge symmetry, so that it can be a good
dark mattercandidate. In this paper, we especially study the phenomenology relevant to the
dark matter. We also discuss the neutrino sector and show that the right-handed neutrinos from the
mirrorsector can increase the effective number of neutrinos or
dark radiationby $0.14$.
