Title	A pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone dark matter model and direct detection experiments
Abstract	Dark matter is one of the mysteries in our Universe. There are so many ideas that explain dark matter. The Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) is a popular DM scenario in particle physics. In the WIMP scenario, the DM particles interact with the SM particles, and thus there are various processes. DM annihilation processes are essential to explain the measured value of the energy density of the DM by the freeze-out mechanism. The same interaction predicts the creation of the DM particles from the SM particles and motivates the search for DM at collider experiments. The interaction also implies the DM-SM scattering processes, which are utilized for DM direct detection. After reviewing WIMP dark matter scenario briefly, I will discuss a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone DM model that can explain the null results in the recent direct detection experiments.
