Little Higgs Dark Matter after PandaX-II/LUX 2016 and LHC Run-1

Abstract

In the Littlest Higgs model with $T$ parity (LHT), the $T$-odd heavy photon ($A_H$) is weakly interacting and can play the role of dark matter. We investigate the lower limit on the mass of $A_H$ dark matter under the constraints from Higgs data, EWPOs, $R_b$, Planck 2015 dark matter relic abundance, PandaX-II/LUX 2016 direct detections and LHC-8 TeV monojet results. We find that (1) Higgs data, EWPOs and $R_b$ can exclude the mass of $A_H$ up to 99 GeV. To produce the correct dark matter relic abundance, $A_H$ has to co-annihilate with $T$-odd quarks ($q_H$) or leptons (${\ell }_H$); (2) the LUX (PandaX-II) 2016 data can further exclude $m_{A_H}<380(270)$ GeV for ${\ell }_H$-$A_H$ co-annihilation and $m_{A_H}<350(240)$ GeV for $q_H-A_H$ co-annihilation; (3) LHC-8 TeV monojet result can give a strong lower limit, $m_{A_H}>540$ GeV, for $q_H$-$A_H$ co-annihilation; (4) future XENON1T (2017) experiment can fully cover the parameter space of ${\ell }_H$-$A_H$ co-annihilation and will push the lower limit of $m_{A_H}$ up to about 640 GeV for $q_H$-$A_H$ co-annihilation.
