Résumé |
In this talk, I will consider extensions of the Standard Model (SM) featuring
vector-like fermions charged under a new confining force, referred to as dark
color. These dark fermions condense to form a spectrum of dark hadrons, with the
lightest accidentally stable dark baryon, with a mass of around 100 TeV, serving
as a viable thermal dark matter candidate. I will, in particular, consider the
grand unified theory (GUT) SU(5) framework for these models, highlighting how
gauge coupling unification within the SM imposes stringent constraints on their
construction. Additionally, I will discuss the unique cosmological scenarios these
unified theories present and their phenomenological implications. |
