A Singlet Dark Matter in the SU(6)/SO(6) Composite Higgs Model
Haiying Cai, Giacomo Cacciapaglia
Abstract
Singlet scalar Dark Matter can naturally arise in composite Higgs models as an additional stable pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson. We study the properties of such a candidate in a model based on $SU(6)/SO(6)$, with the light quark masses generated by 4-fermion interactions. The presence of non-linearities in the couplings allows to saturate the relic density for masses $400 < m_{\rm DM} < 1000$ GeV, and survive the bound from Direct Detection and Indirect Detection. The viable parameter regions are in reach of the sensitivities of future upgrades, like XENONnT and LZ.
