Much of the model building focused on the WIMP paradigm: For thermal dark matter need cross section hσann vrel i ∼ 0.1 pb. For EW scale particle DM, corresponds weak scale interactions. However, do not know much about DM. Lack of evidence at direct detection, indirect detection, and collider experiments motivates additional model building. Have been some signals for DM in the ∼ 10 GeV range ... although LUX LUX, arXiv:1310.8214 Despite recent results, low-mass DM still an interesting and phenomenologically rich region to explore.

Viable Dark Matter Candidates Viable DM candidates need to meet several criteria: Needs to be stable on cosmological time scales. Reproduce correct relic abundance. Avoid direct and indirect searches. If thermally produced, needs to be in thermal equilibrium with SM at some time in the past.

Motivation
Viable Dark Matter Candidates Viable DM candidates need to meet several criteria: Needs to be stable on cosmological time scales. Reproduce correct relic abundance. Avoid direct and indirect searches. If thermally produced, needs to be in thermal equilibrium with SM at some time in the past. Stability of DM candidate often gauranteed by a discrete symmetry. As in SM, may expect stability to come from gauge, Lorentz or accidental symmetries. Postulate some gauge symmetry in the dark sector under which DM is charged. On general grounds may expect DM to be part of a larger sector. Also motivated by anomalies Positron excesses in Fermi, PAMELA, AMS-02... Can organize symmetry breaking pattern such that stability is still gauranteed.

LHC Physics Have discussed how to search for these types of models at low energy and DM experiments. May also be able to search for light gauge bosons at the LHC. Specifically, will focus on Higgs physics in connection with a new dark gauge boson. Will neglect dark matter connection, and just assume a new U(1) under which the SM in uncharged. Notation change: use Zd for a generic dark U(1). For LHC searches will focus on MZd & 5 GeV, complementary to previous low energy searches. In previous model, had Mγh . MWh . MZh , so have for MWh ∼ O (GeV) have “neutral" gauge bosons with masses in the sub-GeV range and in the multi-GeV range.

Dark Z decays If kinetic mixing is dominant: Zd couples to SM E&M current. Br(Zd → 2ℓ) > Br(Z → 2ℓ), since no neutrino coupling. For MZd = 5 − 10 GeV, can expect Br(Zd → 2ℓ) ≃ 0.3 If mass mixing dominates: Zd also couples to SM neutral current. Br(Zd → 2ℓ) smaller than kinetic mixing case.
For purposes of the collider search, will focus on mass mixing case. Will give results in terms of δ2 Br(Zd → 2ℓ)

Conclusion
Conclusions Presented a self-interacting DM model: DM consisted of nonabelian gauge bosons. Augmented with U(1) that kinetically mixes with hypercharge. DM stabilized via residual symmetry from the original gauge symmetries. Setup produces a viable low-mass vector DM candidate. Due to hierarchy of masses, can have a sub-GeV gauge boson coupling to SM E&M current. This gauge boson can be searched for at low energy experiments. Proposed low energy experiments will start probing interesting parameter regions for low mass DM.
