Dark Matter Candidate from Conformality

Abstract

Abelian quiver gauge theories provide candidates for the conformality approach to physics beyond the standard model which possess novel cancellation mechanisms for quadratic divergences. A $Z_2$ symmetry (R parity) can be imposed and leads naturally to a dark matter candidate which is the Lightest Conformality Particle (LCP), a neutral spin-1/2 state with weak interaction annihilation cross section, mass in the 100 GeV region and relic density of non-baryonic dark matter ${\Omega }_{dm}$ which can be consistent with the observed value ${\Omega }_{dm}\simeq 0.24$.
