R-parity as a residual gauge symmetry : probing a theory of cosmological dark matter

Alexandre Alves, Giorgio Arcadi, P. V. Dong +3

We present a non-supersymmetric scenario in which the R-parity symmetry $R_{P} = (- 1)^{3 (B - L) + 2 s}$ arises as a result of spontaneous gauge symmetry breaking, leading to a viable Dira…
