Z' gauge bosons arise in many particle physics models as mediators between the dark and visible sectors. We exploit dark matter complementarity and derive stringent and robust collider, direct and indirect constraints, as well as limits from the muon magnetic moment. We rule out almost the entire region of the parameter space that yields the right dark matter thermal relic abundance, using a generic parametrization of the Z'-fermion couplings normalized to the Standard Model Z-fermion couplings for dark matter masses in the 8 GeV-5 TeV range. We conclude that mediators lighter than 2.1 TeV are excluded regardless of the DM mass, and that depending on the Z'-fermion coupling strength much heavier masses are needed to reproduce the DM thermal relic abundance while avoiding existing limits.

  1. Constraining the heavy leptophilic neutral gauge bosons through the $Z\to\ell^+\ell^-$, $W^\pm\to\ell^\pm\nu_\ell$, and $h\to\ell^+\ell^-$ decays

    hep-ph 2026-03 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    One-loop corrections to W/Z/h leptonic widths exclude heavy leptophilic Z' regions (M ≳ O(1) TeV, g' ≳ 0.4) beyond LEP-2 and neutrino-trident limits.

  2. Custodial Naturalness

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Custodial Naturalness uses classical scale invariance plus a custodial SO(6) symmetry to make the Higgs a naturally light pseudo-Goldstone boson, with testable new particle predictions.

  3. Multi-component secluded WIMP dark matter and Dirac neutrino masses with an extra Abelian gauge symmetry

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An anomaly-free two-component secluded WIMP model with a dark photon, dark Higgs, and scotogenic Dirac neutrino masses can account for the observed relic density while evading cosmological bounds.
