abstract
The new gauge boson $Z'$ in $U(1)_{B-L}$ is widely considered as the mediator of dark matter. In this paper, we propose the conversion-driven dark matter in $U(1)_{B-L}$. The dark sector contains two Dirac fermions $\tilde{\chi}_1$ and $\tilde{\chi}_2$ with $U(1)_{B-L}$ charge 0 and $-1$, respectively. A $Z_2$ symmetry is also introduced to ensure the stability of dark matter. The mass term $\delta m \bar{\tilde{\chi}}_1\tilde{\chi}_2$ induces the mixing of dark fermion. Then the lightest dark fermion $\chi_1$ becomes the dark matter candidate, whose coupling to $Z'$ is suppressed by the mixing angle $\theta$. Instead of freezing-out via pair annihilation, we show that the observed relic abundance can be obtained through the conversion processes. We then explore the feasible parameter space of conversion-driven dark matter in $U(1)_{B-L}$. Under various experimental constraints, the conversion-driven dark matter prefers the region with $3\times10^{-6}\lesssim g'\lesssim2\times10^{-4}$ and $0.02~\text{GeV}\lesssim m_{Z'}\lesssim10$~GeV, which is within the reach of future Belle II, FASER and SHiP.

Coscattering Dark Matter in the Inverse Scotogenic Models
In the inverse scotogenic model, nearly degenerate Z2-odd scalars φ1 and φ2 produce the observed dark matter relic density via coscattering through either the Higgs portal or Yukawa portal, with long-lived φ2 decays g...

FIMPs in a two-component dark matter model with $Z_2 \times Z_4$ symmetry
In a Z2×Z4 two-component FIMP model, the scalar coupling λds can be as small as ~10^-20 to 10^-24 while h2-mediated processes still control scalar dark matter production.

FIMPs in a two-component dark matter model with $Z_2 \times Z_4$ symmetry
In this two-component dark matter model, freeze-in works with masses up to 3 TeV only if the scalar portal coupling is as small as 10^-25, far below usual FIMP values.

Reviving $Z^\prime$ Portal Dark Matter with Conversion Mechanism
In a U(1)_{B-L} Z' portal model with two nearly degenerate dark fermions, the conversion mechanism can produce the observed dark matter relic density while evading current collider and direct-detection constraints.
