Description |
I will review how suppressing proton decay gives a dark matter candidate as a spin-off in the context of warped GUT's. I will emphasize that the novel aspect of this dark matter model is that the symmetry enforcing the stability of the dark particle particle is Z_3, as opposed to Z_2 (parity) in most other models (including SUSY). Then, I will show how the two stabilizations symmetries can be distinguished in collider searches for dark matter, via production of particles charged under the same symmetry, followed by their decay to SM particles and dark matter. |
