Signals of Leptophilic Dark Matter at the ILC

Adopting a model independent approach, we constrain the various effective interactions of leptophilic DM particle with the visible world from the WMAP and Planck data. The thermally averaged indirect DM annihilation cross-section and the DM-electron direct-detection cross-section for such a DM candidate are observed to be consistent with the respective experimental data. We study the production of cosmologically allowed leptophilic DM in association with $Z\, (Z\to f\bar f)$, $f\equiv q,\,e^-,\, \mu^-$ at the ILC. We perform the $\chi^2$ analysis and compute the 99\% C.L. acceptance contours in the $m_\chi$ and $\Lambda$ plane from the two dimensional differential distributions of various kinematic observables obtained after employing parton showering and hadronization to the simulated data. We observe that the dominant hadronic channel provides the best kinematic reach of 2.62 TeV ($m_\chi$ = 25 GeV), which further improves to 3.13 TeV for polarized beams at $\sqrt{s} = 1$ TeV and an integrated luminosity of 1 ab$^{-1}$.Comment: 17 pages, 10 figures, 5 table

Spin-0±0^\pm portal induced Dark Matter

Standard model (SM) spin-zero singlets are constrained through their di-Bosonic decay channels via an effective coupling induced by a vector-like quark (VLQ) loop at the LHC for $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV. These spin-zero resonances are then considered as portals for scalar, vector or fermionic dark matter particle interactions with SM gauge bosons. We find that the model is validated with respect to the observations from LHC data and from cosmology, indirect and direct detection experiments for an appreciable range of scalar, vector and fermionic DM masses greater than 300 GeV and VLQ masses $\ge$ 400 GeV, corresponding to the three choice of portal masses 270 GeV, 500 GeV and 750 GeV respectively.Comment: 28 pages, 13 figures, and 2 table
