Description

The anomaly reported recently by CDF can be well fit by a massive Z' coupling primarily to baryons. The U(1) gauge group associated with such a Z' is anomalous in the Standard Model; and so additional particle content is required. In this talk, I discuss two possible UV theories which include a leptophobic Z', and demonstrate that these models generically contain a viable dark matter candidate that have a direct detection cross-sections compatible with the DAMA/Libra and CoGeNT signals. It is therefore possible that collider experiments can directly probe dark forces that connect the Standard Model and the dark sector.
