Revisiting Discrete Dark Matter Model:θ_{13}\neq0 and ν_{R} Dark Matter

Abstract

We revisit the discrete dark matter model with $A_4$ flavor symmetry originally introduced by M.Hirsch {\it et.al}. We show that radiative corrections can lead to non-zero ${\theta }_{13}$ and non-zero mass for the lightest neutrino. We find an interesting relation among neutrino mixing parameters and it indicates the sizable deviation of $s_{23}$ from the maximal angle $s_{23}^2=1/2$ and the degenerate mass spectrum for neutrinos. Also we study the possibilities that the right-handed neutrino is a dark matter candidate. Assuming the thermal freeze-out explains observed dark matter abundance, TeV-scale right-handed neutrino and flavored scalar bosons are required. In such a case, flavor symmetry plays an important role for the suppression of lepton flavor violating processes as well as for the stability of dark matter. We show that this scenario can be viable against currently existing constraints from collider, low energy experiments and cosmological observations.

arXiv commentThe wrong estimations in Eq(4.9) and Fig.14 in the published version of this paper are corrected. As the result, the prefered mass range for $\eta$ bosons are lowered. Some comments on constraints from rare lepton decays and SM precision test added
