Dark matter candidate with well-defined mass and couplings

Abstract

We propose a Higgs-related but spin $1/2$ dark matter candidate with a mass that is comparable to that of the Higgs. This particle is a WIMP with an R-parity of $-1$, but it can be distinguished from a neutralino by its unconventional couplings to W and Z bosons. Charged spin 1/2 particles of a new kind are also predicted at higher energy.
