Self-interacting dark matter from an SU(3)_L \otimes U(1)_N electroweak model

Abstract

Recently has been showed that models which consider self-interacting particles as dark matter candidates can be able to account all the discrepancies between N-body simulations and astronomical observations of the galactic structure. In the present work we show that the 3-3-1-electroweak model can provide a realistic candidate to this kind of dark matter. This dark matter particle is not arbitrarily imposed and no new symmetry is need for to stabilize it.
