abstract

We propose a model of asymmetric dark matter (DM) where the dark sector is an identical copy of both forces and matter of the standard model (SM) as in the mirror universe models discussed in literature. In addition to being connected by gravity, the SM and DM sectors are also connected at high temperature by a common set of heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos via their Yukawa couplings to leptons and Higgs bosons. The lightest nucleon in the dark (mirror) sector is a candidate for dark matter. The out of equilibrium decay of right-handed neutrino produces equal lepton asymmetry in both sectors via resonant leptogenesis which then get converted to baryonic and dark baryonic matter. The dark baryon asymmetry due to higher dark nucleon masses leads to higher dark matter density compared to the familiar baryon density that is observed. The standard model neutrinos in this case acquire masses from the inverse seesaw mechanism. A kinetic mixing between the U(1) gauge fields of the two sectors is introduced to guarantee the success of Big-Bang Nucleosynthesis.

Gauged Flavour for Asymmetric Dark Matter

hep-ph · 2026-05-19 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0 · 2 refs

A gauged SO(3) flavour symmetry broken at multiple scales generates SM fermion masses, redistributes a lepton asymmetry into baryon and dark matter asymmetries via sphalerons, and yields dark matter as bound states of a confining SU(3), with mirror fermions required for anomaly cancellation.
