The price for monopole dark matter
Felix Brümmer, Giacomo Ferrante, Théodore Fischer +1
We construct an explicit model where dark matter consists of 't Hooft-Polyakov monopoles. The dark sector is in thermal contact with the Standard Model, and dark monopoles are crea…

Vector dark matter with non-abelian kinetic mixing
Ana Luisa Foguel, Renata Zukanovich Funchal, Michele Frigerio
An appealing framework for dark matter is provided by light hidden sectors, below the electroweak scale, feebly coupled to the Standard Model via light mediators. We consider a min…

No room for minimal monopole dark matter
Felix Brümmer, Giacomo Ferrante, Théodore Fischer +1
The magnetic monopole of a dark sector has been advocated as an appealing dark matter candidate. We revisit the computation of the monopole abundance , generated by a thermal…
