We take the dark matter to belong to a \"dark sector\" which contains at least two types, or \"flavors\", of particles and then hypothesize that the Standard Model fields and dark matter share a common interaction which depends on flavor. As, generically, interaction eigenstates and mass eigenstates need not coincide, we consider both flavor-changing and flavor-conserving interactions. These interactions are then constrained by meson decays, kaon mixing, and current collider bounds, and we examine their relevance for direct detection and LHC.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-04-27T20:06:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "95.35.+d" ], "keywords": [ "direct detection experiments", "flavored dark matter", "standard model fields", "dark matter share", "current collider bounds" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review D", "year": 2011, "month": "Aug", "volume": 84, "number": 3, "pages": "035016" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 897421, "adsabs": "2011PhRvD..84c5016K" } } }
