Gauge $B-L$ Model of Radiative Neutrino Mass with Multipartite Dark Matter

Abstract

We propose an extension of the standard model of quarks and leptons to include gauge $B-L$ symmetry with an exotic array of neutral fermion singlets for anomaly cancellation. With the addition of suitable scalars also transforming under $U(1{)}_{B-L}$, this becomes a model of radiative seesaw neutrino mass with possible multipartite dark matter. If leptoquark fermions are added, necessarily also transforming under $B-L$, the diphoton excess at 750 GeV, recently observed at the Large Hadron Collider, may also be explained.
