Symmetries of stealth DM
- Start with SU(ND) gauge theory and NF Dirac fermions, in the
- First requirement: baryons are bosons - even ND. No
- Second requirement: couplings to electroweak and Higgs -
- ne EW doublet and one singlet, NF≥3. Ensures meson decay
- Third requirement: custodial SU(2) for electroweak precision -

- The “dark rho” is very narrow, since decay to ππ is closed. Another (TeV-scale)
