Right-handed neutrino dark matter in the classically conformal U(1)' extended Standard Model
The paper says
“Combining the electroweak vacuum stability condition, the LHC Run-2 bounds, and the cosmological constraint from the observed DM relic density, we find that all constrains complementarily work to narrow down the allowed parameter regions, and, especially, exclude mZ′ ≲ 3.5 TeV.”

Abstract
We consider the dark matter (DM) scenario in the context of the classically conformal U(1)' extended standard model (SM), with three right-handed neutrinos (RHNs) and the U(1)' Higgs field. The model is free from all the U(1)' gauge and gravitational anomalies in the presence of the three RHNs. We introduce a Z2-parity in the model, under which an odd-parity is assigned to one RHN, while all the other particles is assigned to be Z2-even, and hence the Z2-odd RHN serves as a DM candidate. In this model, the U(1)' gauge symmetry is radiatively broken through the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism, by which the electroweak symmetry breaking is triggered. There are three free parameters in our model, the U(1)' charge of the SM Higgs doublet (xH), the new U(1)' gauge coupling (gX), and the U(1)' gauge boson (Z′) mass (mZ′), which are severely constrained in order to solve the electroweak vacuum instability problem, and satisfy the LHC Run-2 bounds from the search for Z′ boson resonance. In addition to these constraints, we investigate the RHN DM physics. Because of the nature of classical conformality, we find that a RHN DM pair mainly annihilates into the SM particles through the Z′ boson exchange. This is the so-called Z′-portal DM scenario. Combining the electroweak vacuum stability condition, the LHC Run-2 bounds, and the cosmological constraint from the observed DM relic density, we find that all constrains complementarily work to narrow down the allowed parameter regions, and, especially, exclude mZ′ ≲ 3.5 TeV. For the obtained allowed regions, we calculate the spin-independent cross section of the RHN DM with nucleons. We find that the resultant cross section well below the current experimental upper bounds.
