Majoron dark matter detection via hybrid magnon transmon qubit system

Ultralight Majorons are well-motivated dark-matter candidates that can couple to electron spins, generating an oscillating pseudo-magnetic field. We propose a hybrid magnon-qubit haloscope that exploits this interaction to search for Majoron dark matter. In our scheme, the Majoron field resonantly drives the Kittel mode of a ferrimagnetic yttrium iron garnet (YIG) sphere, producing a collective magnon response enhanced by the large spin ensemble. The resulting magnon population is transduced to a superconducting transmon qubit through a cavity-mediated dispersive interaction and detected using quantum-nondemolition Ramsey interferometry. Using experimentally demonstrated parameters for magnon-cavity-qubit systems, we derive the Majoron-induced signal, evaluate the projected sensitivity, and analyze the corresponding mass-scan strategy enabled by magnetic-field tuning, benchmarking the projected reach against existing laboratory and astrophysical constraints on the axion/Majoron-electron coupling. Our results establish hybrid magnon-qubit architectures as a promising quantum-sensing platform for searches for Majoron dark matter and, more generally, ultralight bosonic fields coupled to electronic spins.

Implications of a dark grand unification

Given that dark matter and normal matter are nontrivially unified in a grand unified theory, called dark grand unification, we derive novel residual theories at low energy explaining dark matter and neutrino mass. The first chain of which is $E_6\to SU(3)_C\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes SU(3)_R$, which contains a matter parity by itself stabilizing a dark matter candidate and producing neutrino mass via a seesaw. The second chain is $\mathrm{Trinification}\to SU(3)_C \otimes SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_X\otimes U(1)_N$, which results in a novel family-universal 3-3-1-1 model, opposite to the normal 3-3-1-1 (or corresponding 3-3-1) model. Surprisingly, it is a variant of both minimal 3-3-1 model and 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos since both $e_R$ and $ν_R$ are located at the bottoms of lepton triplets. Since this universal 3-3-1-1 model is properly embedded in the trinification, the above matter parity works governing dark matter stability as well as suppressing unwanted fermion mixings. Further, neutrino masses are naturally generated by a canonical seesaw combined with a scotogenic scheme.

Dark symmetry implication for right-handed neutrinos

We argue that the long-standing issues of neutrino mass and dark matter can be manifestly solved in a dark gauge symmetry $U(1)_D$ that transforms nontrivially only for three right-handed neutrinos $ν_{1,2,3R}$ -- the counterparts of known left-handed neutrinos. This theory assigns $ν_{1,2,3R}$ dark charge to be $D=0$, $-1$, and $+1$, respectively, in order for anomaly cancelation. Additionally, it imposes an inert Higgs doublet $η$ and two Higgs singlets $ξ,ϕ$ with dark charge $D=+1$, $-1$, and $+2$, respectively. That said, the dark symmetry is broken by $ϕ$ (by two units) down to a dark parity $P_D=(-1)^D$, for which $ν_{2,3R}$ and $η,ξ$ are odd, whereas all other fields are even due to $D=0$. The lightest of these odd fields is stabilized by $P_D$, responsible for dark matter. Neutrino masses are generated by a scotoseesaw scheme, in which the seesaw part is mediated by $ν_{1R}$, while the scotogenic part is mediated by $ν_{2,3R}$, for which the hierarchy of atmospheric and solar neutrino mass splittings is explained.

Can the Higgs field feel a dark force?

We argue that if an electroweak Higgs field possesses a dark gauge charge responsible for dark matter stability, the $W$-boson mass deviation is properly induced, besides appropriately generated neutrino masses. We examine a simple model in which the usual Higgs doublet plays the role but dark matter candidates are somewhat input by ad hoc. We look for a realistic model that fully realizes such observation, thereby neutrino mass and dark matter are naturally supplied by a dark non-abelian gauge symmetry.
