Derivative Portal Dark Matter

Abstract

We propose a new kind of Dark Matter: Derivative Portal Dark Matter. This kind of Dark Matter connects to the Standard Model through a massive mediator, which links to the Standard Model in derivative form. The derivative of a mediator in momentum space corresponds to the mediated momentum, which vanishes in the zero momentum transfer limit. As a result, this kind of Dark Matter can evade stringent constraint from the Dark Matter direct detection while fitting the Dark Matter relic density observation naturally. We explore several UV complete models of this kind of Dark matter. What's more, we show that these models also survive from Dark Matter indirect detection and collider search.
