Dark Matter Aspects of the Composite Higgs Models — •Yu Chen — Universität Würzburg

The nature of Dark Matter (DM) and the origin of small neutrino masses remain open questions in particle physics, motivating extensions of the Standard Model. In this talk, I explore Composite Higgs (CH) models that can simultaneously address both issues. As a concrete example, I will present a CH model based on the coset SU(6)/Sp(6), which naturally provides potential DM candidates as a composite pseudo-Nambu Goldstone boson. I will discuss the phenomenological implications, focusing on explaining the DM relic density within this framework.
