A few multiplets that can be added to the SM contain a lightest neutral component which is automatically stable and provides allowed DM candidates with a non-standard phenomenology. Thanks to coannihilations, a successful thermal abundance is obtained for well defined DM masses. The best candidate seems to be a SU(2)_L fermion quintuplet with mass 4.4 TeV, accompanied by a charged partner 166 MeV heavier with life-time 1.8 cm, that manifests at colliders as charged tracks disappearing in pi^\pm with 97.7% branching ratio. The cross section for usual NC direct DM detection is sigma_SI = f^2 1.0 10^-43 cm^2 where f ~ 1 is a nucleon matrix element. We study prospects for CC direct detection and for indirect detection.

  1. Non-linear Evolution of Dark Plasma Subhalos

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    Dark plasma instabilities can evaporate up to ~97% of a 10^7 M_sun subhalo's mass by first pericenter, much more than ordinary tidal stripping.

  2. Natural Phantom Crossing from Axion-WIMP Interactions

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A Z_N-symmetric WIMP sector stores the initial axion value in its relic distribution and later generates a finite-density axion potential, producing an apparent late-time phantom crossing without ghosts.

    No excess found in 137 fb^-1 of 13 TeV pp data; new 95% CL exclusions reach chargino masses up to 880 GeV and tau-sleptons up to 320 GeV at ~1 ns lifetimes.

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0

    For light U(1)X vectors coupled to anomaly-sensitive currents, Wess-Zumino coefficients are fixed by anomaly matching, which lets all missing-energy searches (K, B, D, Z) be mapped onto one (m_X,g_X) plane with minima...

    For Higgs-coupled minimal dark matter, the 3M2D, 5M4D, and 7M6D combinations can have direct-detection cross sections below the neutrino floor, so next-generation direct detection cannot fully exclude the model.
