Self-Interacting Vector Dark Matter in a Standard Model-like Dark Sector

Dr. Van Que Tran

In this talk, I will explore the potential of a non-Abelian gauge boson within a Standard Model-like dark sector to fulfill the role as a self-interacting vector dark matter candidate. This candidate offers a promising solution to the core-cusp and missing satellites problems that challenge the conventional paradigm of collisionless weakly interacting massive particles. I will also examine the constraints on such a dark matter model and discuss the implications for upcoming direct detection experiments.
