Self-resonant dark matter with gauged symmetry

Lucca Radicce Justino, Seong-Sik Kim, Hyun Min Lee +1

We present a new model for two-component scalar dark matter (DM), consisting of two complex scalar fields. In this model, both the DM components are stable due to the remaining $Z_…

Neutrino masses and mixed dark matter from doublet and singlet scalars

Jongkuk Kim, Seong-Sik Kim, Hyun Min Lee +1

We consider the extension of the Standard Model with an inert scalar doublet, three right-handed neutrinos, and singlet scalar fields, and . In this model, neutrino masses a…

Small Neutrino Masses from a Decoupled Singlet Scalar Field

Jongkuk Kim, Seong-Sik Kim, Hyun Min Lee +1

We propose a unified solution with discrete symmetry for small neutrino masses and stability of dark matter. The Standard Model is extended with an inert doublet scalar, a da…

Muon and Proton Lifetime in SUSY SU(5) GUTs with Split Superpartners

Seong-Sik Kim, Hyun Min Lee, Sung-Bo Sim

We consider the interplay of the muon anomaly and the proton decay in the SUSY SU(5) GUTs with generation-independent scalar soft masses. In these scenarios, we introduce a n…

Positivity Bounds on Higgs-Portal Freeze-in Dark Matter

Seong-Sik Kim, Hyun Min Lee, Kimiko Yamashita

We consider the relic density and positivity bounds for freeze-in scalar dark matter with general Higgs-portal interactions up to dimension-8 operators. When dimension-4 and dimens…

Self-resonant Dark Matter

Hyun Min Lee

We present a review on the self-resonant dark matter scenarios where multiple components of dark matter give rise to a resonant condition in the -channel diagrams for their comp…

Positivity Bounds on Higgs-Portal Dark Matter

Seong-Sik Kim, Hyun Min Lee, Kimiko Yamashita

We consider the positivity bounds for WIMP scalar dark matter with effective Higgs-portal couplings up to dimension-8 operators. Taking the superposed states for Standard Model Hig…

The lepton portals for muon , boson mass and dark matter

Seong-Sik Kim, Hyun Min Lee, Adriana G. Menkara +1

We propose a novel model which extends the Standard Model (SM) by introducing a gauge symmetry. In this model, a dark Higgs doublet and a Higgs bi-doublet can c…

The lepton portals for muon , boson mass and dark matter

Seong-Sik Kim, Hyun Min Lee, Adriana G. Menkara +1

We propose a novel model for lepton flavor and dark matter based on the gauge symmetry and vector-like leptons in its fundamental representations. We introduce a dark $SU…

Models for Self-resonant Dark Matter

Seong-Sik Kim, Hyun Min Lee, Bin Zhu

We consider a new mechanism for enhancing the self-scattering and annihilation cross sections for dark matter with multiple components but without a light mediator. The lighter dar…

Self-resonant Dark Matter

Seong-Sik Kim, Hyun Min Lee, Bin Zhu

We present a novel mechanism for Sommerfeld enhancement for dark matter interactions without the need for light mediators. Considering a model for two-component dark matter with a…

Thermal inflation, baryogenesis and axions

Seongcheol Kim, Wan-Il Park, Ewan D. Stewart

In a previous paper, we proposed a simple extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model which gives rise to thermal inflation and baryogenesis in a natural and remarkably…

Dark energy in hybrid inflation

Jinn-Ouk Gong, Seongcheol Kim

The situation that a scalar field provides the source of the accelerated expansion of the universe while rolling down its potential is common in both the simple models of the primo…
