Zusammenfassung:
We investigate a simple extension of the Standard Model where the baryon
number is a local gauge symmetry and the cold dark matter in the Universe can
be described by a fermionic field with baryon number. We refer to this scenario
as Baryonic Dark Matter. The stability of the dark matter candidate is a
natural consequence of the spontaneous breaking of baryon number at the low
scale and there is no need to impose an extra discrete symmetry. The
constraints from the relic density and the predictions for direct detection are
discussed in detail. We briefly discuss the testability of this model using the
correlation between the Large Hadron Collider data and possible results from
dark matter experiments.
