Abstract

We investigate a beyond Standard Model (SM) featuring five new fields. Four fields encompassing three distinct spin states—scalar (<a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><a:mi>S</a:mi></a:math>), spinor (<c:math xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><c:msup><c:mi>ψ</c:mi><c:mrow><c:mn>1</c:mn><c:mo>,</c:mo><c:mn>2</c:mn></c:mrow></c:msup></c:math>), and vector (<e:math xmlns:e="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><e:msub><e:mi>V</e:mi><e:mi>μ</e:mi></e:msub></e:math>)—together form the multicomponent dark matter (DM), while the fifth (scalar) field (<g:math xmlns:g="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><g:mi>ϕ</g:mi></g:math>) carries a unit charge under a dark <i:math xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><i:msub><i:mi>U</i:mi><i:mi>D</i:mi></i:msub><i:mo stretchy="false">(</i:mo><i:mn>1</i:mn><i:mo stretchy="false">)</i:mo></i:math> gauge symmetry, enabling SM-DM interactions via the Higgs portal.
