Description

Beyond solving the hierarchy problem, classically conformal (CC) theories naturally accommodate dark matter (DM). In this work, we explore the CC $SU(2)_X$ gauge theory with a triplet dark scalar, uncovering three distinct DM scenarios: WIMP and supercooled DM. The production mechanisms are strongly influenced by the CC model's unique first-order phase transition evolution history, which differs significantly from those in non-conformal models. We obtain the viable parameter space for each scenario and investigate the current constraints and future sensitivities at terrestrial experiments and gravitational wave observatories.
