Description
I present an extension of the Standard Model in which baryon number is a local gauge symmetry that can be spontaneously broken at the low scale without introducing dangerous operators mediating proton decay. In this model, the dark matter candidate is a Dirac fermion with baryon number. I discuss the prospects for direct and indirect dark matter detection, as well as collider signatures of the model.
