The Reach of Threshold-Corrected Dark QCD

Newstead, Jayden L., TerBeek, Russell H.

Understand

We consider a recently-proposed model which posits the existence of composite dark matter, wherein dark "quarks" transforming as fundamentals under an $SU(3)_d$ gauge group undergo a confining phase and form dark baryons.

  • The model attempts to explain both the $\mathcal{O}(1)$ relic density ratio, $\Omega_{\mathrm{dark}}/\Omega_{\mathrm{baryon}}\sim 5.4$, as well as the asymmetric production of both dark and baryonic matter via leptogenesis.
  • Though the solution of $\beta$ functions for $SU(3)_c$ and $SU(3)_d$ constitutes the main drive of the model, no threshold corrections were taken into account as the renormalization scale crosses the mass threshold of the heavy new fields in the model.
  • We extend this work by explicitly calculating the threshold-corrected renormalization-group flow for the theory using an effective-field matching technique.
