PT Journal AU Kang, SK Popov, O Srivastava, R Valle, JWF Vaquera-Araujo, CA TI Scotogenic dark matter stability from gauged matter parity SO Physics Letters B JI Phys. Lett. B PY 2019 BP 135013 - 10pp VL 798 DI 10.1016/j.physletb.2019.135013 LA English AB We explore the idea that dark matter stability results from the presence of a matter-parity symmetry, arising naturally as a consequence of the spontaneous breaking of an extended SU(3) circle times SU(3)(L) circle times U(1)(X) circle times U(1)(N) electroweak gauge symmetry with fully gauged B-L. Using this framework we construct a theory for scotogenic dark matter and analyze its main features. ER
