Description

Gauge symmetry can naturally accommodate dark matter stability or longevity. Hidden sectors (or dark sectors) with dark gauge symmetry would contain multiple particles , and then multi-component dark matter models become generic. , and they are not an ad hocextension of the WIMP paradigm—it is a natural consequence of a rich hidden gauge sector. Future experiments should search for rich dark sectors rather than minimal dark matter.
