Abstract
Weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) is well known to be a good candidate for dark matter, and it is also predicted by many new physics models beyond the standard model at the TeV scale. We found that, if the WIMP is a vector particle (spin one particle) which is associated with some gauge symmetry broken at the TeV scale, the Higgs mass is preferred to be 120 − 125 GeV, as indeed has been reported by ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider experiment. We present a vector WIMP model based on non-linear sigma model. This model is testable and strongly constrained by experiments for direct and indirect dark matter detection.
