A Simple Dark Matter Model to Explain the LZ Event and Galactic Center Excess

We propose that the dark matter (DM) is a pseudo-Dirac fermion with a mass of approximately $20-100$ GeV that couples inelastically to the Standard Model through a hadrophilic spin-1 mediator, $V$, the gauge boson of spontaneously broken baryon number. The two DM eigenstates, $\chi_{1}$ and $\chi_2$, acquire approximat...
