In this paper, a new non-supersymmetric framework for electroweak symmetry breaking (with or without Higgs) involving SU(2)_L * SU( 2)_R * U(1)_{B-L} in higher dimensional warped geometry has been suggested.Abstract:
In the past year, a new non-supersymmetric framework for electroweak symmetry breaking (with or without Higgs) involving SU(2)_L * SU(2)_R * U(1)_{B-L} in higher dimensional warped geometry has been suggested. In this work, we embed this gauge structure into a GUT such as SO(10) or Pati-Salam. We showed recently (in hep-ph/0403143) that in a warped GUT, a stable Kaluza-Klein fermion can arise as a consequence of imposing proton stability. Here, we specify a complete realistic model where this particle is a weakly interacting right-handed neutrino, and present a detailed study of this new dark matter candidate, providing relic density and detection predictions. We discuss phenomenological aspects associated with the existence of other light (<~ TeV) KK fermions (related to the neutrino), whose lightness is a direct consequence of the top quark's heaviness. The AdS/CFT interpretation of this construction is also presented. Most of our qualitative results do not depend on the nature of the breaking of the electroweak symmetry provided that it happens near the TeV brane.read more

Dark matter direct detection rate in a generic model with micrOMEGAs_2.2
TL;DR: A new module of the micrOMEGAs package is presented for the calculation of WIMP–nuclei elastic scattering cross sections relevant for the direct detection of dark matter through its interaction with nuclei in a large detector.

micrOMEGAs 2.0.7: a program to calculate the relic density of dark matter in a generic model
TL;DR: A code which calculates the relic density of a stable massive particle in an arbitrary model under the assumption that there is a conservation law like R-parity in supersymmetry which guarantees the stability of the lightest odd particle.

Maverick dark matter at colliders
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the detectable signature of maverick dark matter is an excess over standard-model expectations of events consisting of large missing transverse energy, together with large leading jet transverse momentum and scalar sum of the transverse momenta of the jets.

Is the Lightest Kaluza-Klein Particle a Viable Dark Matter Candidate?
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the mass of the KK photon and the neutrino can be inferred from the spectrum of the first-tier KK modes, and that the photon can have appropriate annihilation cross sections to account for the dark matter.

Flavor Structure of Warped Extra Dimension Models
TL;DR: In this article, a spurion analysis of the flavor structure of warped extra-dimensional models with bulk custodial symmetry and few TeV KK masses is presented, showing that the profiles of zero modes, which are similar in all these models, essentially control the underlying flavor structure.

Towards a realistic model of Higgsless electroweak symmetry breaking.
TL;DR: The model presented here can be viewed as the AdS dual of a (walking) technicolorlike theory, in the sense that it is the presence of the IR brane itself that breaks electroweak symmetry, and not a localized Higgs on theIR brane (which should be interpreted as a composite Higgs model).

TL;DR: First results from a search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) in the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment at the Soudan Underground Laboratory set the world's lowest exclusion limits on the coherent WIMP-nucleon scalar cross section for all W IMP masses above 15 GeV/c2, ruling out a significant range of neutralino supersymmetric models.
