Neutrino Mass , Proton Decay and Dark Matter in TeV Scale Universal Extra Dimension Models
نویسنده
چکیده
We show how the problem of small neutrino masses and suppressed proton decay can be simultaneously resolved in 6-D universal extra dimension models (UED) with a low fundamental scale using extended gauge groups that contain the local B − L symmetry. The extra space dimensions are compactified either on a T /Z2 or T /Z2 × Z ′ 2 orbifold depending on whether the full gauge group is SU(2)L×U(1)I3R ×U(1)B−L or SU(2)L×SU(2)R×U(1)B−L. In both cases, neutrino masses are suppressed by an appropriate orbifold parity assignment for the standard model singlet neutrinos and the proton decay rate is suppressed due to a residual discrete symmetry left over from compactification. For lower values of the fundamental scale, a dominant decay mode of the neutron is n → 3ν. An interesting consequence of the model is a possible two component picture for dark matter of the universe.

Mixed Dark Matter in Universal Extra Dimension Models with TeV Scale W R and Z ′
We show that in a class of universal extra dimension (UED) models that solves both the neutrino mass and proton decay problems using low scale left-right symmetry, the dark matter of the Universe consists of an admixture of KK photon and KK right-handed neutrinos. We present a full calculation of the dark matter density in these models taking into account the co-annihilation effects due to near...
متن کاملRelic abundance of dark matter in universal extra dimension models with right-handed neutrinos
Relic abundance of dark matter is investigated in the framework of universal extra dimension models with right-handed neutrinos. These models are free from the serious Kaluza-Klein (KK) graviton problem that the original universal extra dimension model has. The first KK particle of the right-handed neutrino is a candidate for dark matter in this framework, and its relic abundance is determined ...

متن کاملLimits on SUSY Particle Spectra from Proton Stability and Dark Matter Constraints
It is shown that the combined constraints on the amount of cold dark matter and of proton stability produce a stringent upper limit on the gluino mass mg̃ (and hence on the lightest neutralino mass mχ0 1 ≃ mg̃/7 for a large class of gravity mediated supergravity unified models. One finds that for the minimal SU(5) model current data (Kamiokande) restricts mg̃ ≤ 400 GeV for a scalar soft breaking m...
متن کاملIs the Lightest Kaluza–Klein Particle a Viable Dark Matter Candidate?
In models with universal extra dimensions (i.e. in which all Standard Model fields, including fermions, propagate into compact extra dimensions) momentum conservation in the extra dimensions leads to the conservation of Kaluza–Klein (KK) number at each vertex. KK number is violated by loop effects because of the orbifold imposed to reproduce the chiral Standard Model with zero modes, however, a...
