Dark matter and neutrino masses from a classically scale-invariant multi-Higgs portal

Abstract

We present a classically scale-invariant model where the dark matter, neutrino and electroweak mass scales are dynamically generated from dimensionless couplings. The Standard Model gauge sector is extended by a dark $SU(2{)}_X$ gauge symmetry that is completely broken through a complex scalar doublet via the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism. The three resulting dark vector bosons of equal mass are stable and can play the role of dark matter. We also incorporate right-handed neutrinos which are coupled to a real singlet scalar that communicates with the other scalars through portal interactions. The multi-Higgs sector is analyzed by imposing theoretical and experimental constraints. We compute the dark matter relic abundance and study the possibility of the direct detection of the dark matter candidate from XENON 1T.
