Title: A Secret Asymmetry From Flavored Dark Matter

Abstract: In theories where dark matter has multiple flavors and where its coupling to Standard Model particles is flavor-non-trivial, I will explore a novel mechanism for generating an asymmetry in the dark sector despite an unbroken global dark matter number symmetry. Focusing on two benchmark models incorporating this mechanism, I will consider how standard experimental signatures are affected in novel ways, such as collider searches, direct and indirect detection experiments, and I will also explore the consequences for astrophysical observables.
