Description of the model

This is simplified dark matter models for NLO. Our lagrangian consists of different types of DM:

  • Xr (real scalar DM)
  • Xc (complex scalar DM)
  • Xd (Dirac spinor DM)
  • Xm (Majorana spinor DM) [to be done.]
  • ...

and different types of mediators:

  • s-channel
    • Y0 (spin-0)
    • Y1 (spin-1)
    • Y2 (spin-2) [to be done.]
    • ...
  • t-channel [to be done.]

One can find the model lagrangian in the note. See more details in

Model files for tools for DM relic abundance and DM (in)direct detections

(The model keeps all the quark masses finite, and apply only to tree-level processes. In the CH format, we have only Xd without the EW part.)
