Benchmark Dark SMEFT Scenarios from the Interplay of Flavor Physics and Dark Matter Searches
Abstract
We investigate the interplay between low-energy flavor physics and dark matter (DM) phenomenology within the dimension-6 dark Standard Model Effective Field Theory (dSMEFT), featuring a fermionic DM candidate. Focusing on a minimal set of effective operators, we analyze both single- and multi-operator scenarios under current flavor and DM constraints. We show that correlated multi-operator configurations are required to simultaneously satisfy all existing bounds, leading to tightly constrained benchmark regions with implications for future collider searches. We further present representative phenomenological predictions and discuss possible ultraviolet completions of the effective framework.
