Gravitational wave effects and phenomenology of a two-component dark matter model

Abstract

We study an extension of the Standard Model (SM) which could have two candidates for dark matter (DM) including a Dirac fermion and a Vector Dark Matter (VDM) under new $U(1)$ gauge group in the hidden sector. The model is classically scale invariant and the electroweak symmetry breaks because of the loop effects. We investigate the parameter space allowed by current experimental constraints and phenomenological bounds. We probe the parameter space of the model in the mass range $1< M_V<5000$ GeV and $1<M_{\psi}<5000$ GeV. It has been shown that there are many points in this mass range that are in agreement with all phenomenological constraints. The electroweak phase transition have been discussed and shown that there is region in the parameter space of the model consistent with DM relic density and direct detection constraints, while at the same time can lead to first order electroweak phase transition. The gravitational waves produced during the phase transition could be probed by future space-based interferometers such as LISA and BBO.Comment: 28 pages, 11 figure
