Dark Matter from Anomaly Cancellation (2025)

These models are based on promoting Baryon number symmetry to a local gauge symmetry. They imply a leptophobic gauge boson \(Z_B\), a new Higgs, and some extra fermions, one of which is a Dark Matter candidate.

For a study of the phenomenology of the DM candidate, the \(Z_B\) and the Higgs, in cases where the other new fermions are at high mass, see Dark Matter from Anomaly Cancellation at the LHC [156].

For an update, including the phenomenology of the new fermions when they may be at lower masses, see Local Baryon Number at the LHC [154].

For convenience, the model files are also available in the Contur installation in the models directory here .
