Towards UV-Models of Kinetic Mixing and Portal Matter III: Relating Portal Matter and R-H Neutrino Masses

Abstract

The kinetic mixing (KM) of a dark photon (DP) with the familiar one of the Standard Model (SM) requires the existence of a new set of fields, called portal matter (PM), which carry both SM and dark sector quantum numbers, some whose masses may lie at the TeV scale. In the vanilla KM model, the dark gauge group is just the simple $G_{Dark}=U(1{)}_D$ needed to describe the DP while the SM gauge interactions are described by the usual $G_{SM}=SU(3{)}_c\times SU(2{)}_L\times U(1{)}_Y$. However, we need to go beyond this simple model to gain a better understanding of the interplay between $G_{SM}$ and $G_{Dark}$ and, in particular, determine how they both might fit into a more unified construction. Following our previous analyses, this generally requires $G_{Dark}$ to be extended to a non-abelian group, \eg, $SU(2{)}_I\times U(1{)}_{Y_I}$, under which both the PM and SM fields may transform non-trivially. In this paper, also inspired by our earlier work on top-down models, we consider extending the SM gauge group to that of the Left-Right Symmetric Model (LRM) and, in doing so, through common vacuum expectation values, link the mass scales associated with the breaking of $G_{Dark}\to U(1{)}_D$ and the PM fields to that of the RH-neutrino as well as the heavy gauge bosons of the LRM. This leads to an interesting interplay between the now coupled phenomenologies of both visible and dark sectors at least some of which may be probed at, \eg, the LHC and/or at the future FCC-hh.
