Dark Vector-Gauge-Boson Model

A model based on SU(3)_C X SU(2)_L X U(1)_Y X SU(2)_N has recently been proposed, where the SU(2)_N vector gauge bosons are neutral, so that a vector dark-matter candidate is possible and constrained by data to be less than about 1 TeV. We explore further implications of this model, including a detailed study of its Higgs sector. We improve on its dark-matter phenomenology, as well as its discovery reach at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider).
