Tiny yet detectable WIMP-nucleon scattering cross sections in a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone dark matter model

Tomohiro Abe, Kota Ichiki

We investigate a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone (pNG) dark matter (DM) model based on a gauged $SU(2{)}_x$ and a global $SU(2{)}_g$ symmetries. These symmetries are spontaneously broken to a g…
