| Résumé : | The grand-unification gauge group SO(10) contains matter parity as a discrete subgroup. This symmetry could be at the origin of dark matter stability. The properties of the dark matter candidates depend on the path along which SO(10) is broken, in particular through Pati-Salam or left-right symmetric subgroups. We systematically determine the nonsupersymmetric dark matter scenarios that can be realized along the various paths. We emphasize that the dark matter candidates may have colored or electrically charged partners at low scale that belong to the same SO(10) multiplet. These states, which in many cases are important for coannihilation, could be observed more easily than the dark matter particle. We determine the structure of the tree-level and loop-induced mass splittings between the dark matter candidate and their partners and discuss the possible phenomenological implications. |
