This seminar by Chuan-Ren Chen at NTNU discusses the Little Higgs model's implications for dark matter in light of the Higgs boson's discovery. It covers theoretical frameworks, constraints from experiments, and the significance of T-parity in dark matter candidates such as T-odd fermions. The talk highlights the challenges of detecting these particles at the LHC and the need for co-annihilation processes, alongside insights from recent data such as Planck and WMAP. Key searches are outlined, focusing on the production of light T-odd particles in collider experiments.

  20. Dark Matter Some evidences A nonbaryonic, “dark”, charge-neutral object which interacts weakly with normal matters CRC (NTNU)

  21. Dark Matter at LHT two possible candidates: heavy photon, T-odd neutrinos T-odd partner of photon T-odd partner of neutrino dark matter: CRC (NTNU)

  22. Dark Matter & LHT HOWEVER Planck+WMAP Ωh2 >> XENON100 Direct search of DM excludes can fit relic density data well. CRC (NTNU)

  23. Dark Matter & LHT two possible candidates: heavy photon, T-odd neutrinos T-odd partner of photon T-odd partner of neutrino dark matter: dark matter: CRC (NTNU)

  24. Dark Matter & LHT Mh = 125 GeV solution? Yes, MAH ≳Mh/2 For heavier AH, co-annihilations with T-odd fermionsare needed! CRC (NTNU)

  25. co-annihilation w/ T-odd leptons (T-odd quarks are heavy!) CRC (NTNU)

  26. w/ light T-odd leptons Mh = 125 GeV Planck2013 + WMAP-9yrs are so light! LHC should be able to produce lots of them. CRC (NTNU)

  27. light T-odd leptons at LHC 8 TeV lepton + met dilepton + met met only f (GeV) large production cross section 1 ~ 10 pb 100% CRC (NTNU)

  28. dilepton + MET search at LHC: slepton pair or chargino pair in SUSY NO Constraint dilepton + met arbitrary Pt(e) (GeV) CRC (NTNU)

  29. dilepton + MET search at LHC: slepton pair or chargino pair in SUSY NO Constraint dilepton + met MT2 (GeV) kill all signals arbitrary CRC (NTNU)

  30. lepton + met one lepton + MET search at LHC: search for W’ one high pt lepton + large MT f (GeV) MT > 1 TeV kill signal NO constraint from current data MT (GeV) CRC (NTNU)

  31. light T-odd leptons at LHC 8 TeV lepton + met soft dilepton + met soft met only f (GeV) charged lepton is soft! arbitrary direct search is very challenging! can contribute mono-jet + met signal at LHC Pt(e) (GeV) CRC (NTNU)

  32. w/ light T-odd leptons Mh = 125 GeV Direct search: CRC (NTNU)

  33. co-annihilation w/ T-odd quarks (T-odd leptons are heavy!) CRC (NTNU)

  34. w/ light T-odd quarks degenerate case 3 down-type: 3 up-type: ∵ ( Mt_ - MAH ) < MW<Mtop However, top partner ONLY has 4-body decay channel, decay life time is too long! inconsistent with stable heavy quark search at colliders CRC (NTNU)

  35. w/ non-degenerate T-odd quarks projective LUX 2014 can explore MAH up to ~190 GeV, future expts can explore whole parameter space. CRC (NTNU)

  36. light T-odd quarks at the LHC arbitrary HUGE production cross section, jet pT is very soft! dijet + MET search is very challenging! Pt(j) (GeV) CRC (NTNU)

  37. light T-odd quarks at the LHC soft contributes to mono-jet BSM search at LHC. CRC (NTNU)

  38. light T-odd quarks at the LHC 95% C.L. exclusion 2.8 pb allow one other jet > 35 GeV 0.02 pb 0.16 pb 0.05 pb f < ~1.4 TeV (MAH< ~ 220 GeV) is DISFAVORED. CRC (NTNU)

  39. Summary • With Mh = 125 GeV, co-annihilation is needed for heavier (not ~ Mh/2) dark matter in LHT model to explain current universe. • In co-annihilation region, T-odd new heavy fermions should be very light, large production cross section at the LHC. • The small mass difference between dark matter and T-odd leptons makes collider search very difficult. • light T-odd top quark partner decays “too late” -> not allowed by collider searches. • mono-jet + MET from light T-odd quarks + 1jet production at the LHC exceed current limit if MAH< 220 GeV. • Future DM direct search exps can explore whole parameter space.
