Probing Dirac Dark Matter in Composite Higgs Models with Xenon and Argon targets

Recent advancements in direct detection (DD) experiments stimulate the investigation of the interactions of dark matter (DM) with nucleons and nuclei. In the framework of Composite Higgs Models (CHMs) the lightest Dirac composite particle (LDCP) can be stable composing a significant fraction ξof the observed DM relic abundance. We consider the elastic scattering of the LDCP on nucleons as well as on xenon (Xe) and argon (Ar) nuclei within the CHMs in which the LDCP magnetic moment, its mass and its coupling to the Higgs doublet are suppressed by an approximate U(1) symmetry. The LDCP with non-zero magnetic dipole moment can result in a substantial enhancement of the differential event rate in the DD experiments at low recoil energies of nuclei. Assuming ξ\ge 0.1, we identify the region of the parameter space where such enhancement may be potentially observable. In addition we specify some observables that can be useful in discriminating between the DM fermions with non-zero magnetic moment and other types of dark matter particles which don't have similar electromagnetic properties.

Interactions of exotic neutralino dark matter with nucleons in $U(1)$ extensions of the MSSM originating from $E_6$ GUTs

To ensure anomaly cancellation the $E_6$ inspired $U(1)$ extensions of the minimal supersymmetric (SUSY) standard model (MSSM) involve extra exotic matter. The lightest exotic neutralino in these models can be stable contributing to the cold dark matter density. We consider the interactions of such neutralino with nucleons within a specific extension of the MSSM with an additional $U(1)_N$ gauge symmetry (SE$_6$SSM). The constraints on the couplings of this state, which are set by the present experimental bounds caused by the direct detection experiments, are examined. The obtained results can be generalised to other $E_6$ inspired SUSY models with extra $U(1)$ gauge symmetry.

Spin-independent interactions of Dirac Fermionic Dark Matter in the composite Higgs models

According to recent measurements, dark matter magnetic dipole moment is strongly constrained. In the composite Higgs models the magnetic dipole moment of the Dirac dark matter fermion and its mass can be suppressed by the approximate U(1) symmetry. We consider E_6 inspired composite Higgs model (E_6CHM) with U(1) symmetry violating operators, which give rise to dark matter's mass and coupling constant to Higgs boson. The dependence of the spin-independent dark matter-nucleon scattering cross section on the E_6CHM parameters is explored. We argue that there are regions of the parameter space which are still safe from all current constraints and may lead to spectacular LHC signatures.
