Disformal scalars as dark matter candidates: Branon phenomenology Ruiz Cembranos, José Alberto López Maroto, Antonio 53 Nambu-Goldstone bosons Gamma-ray source Galactic-center High-energy Extra dimensions Invisible axion Neutrino burst Tev search Halos Física (Física) 22 Física Scalar particles coupled to the Standard Model fields through a disformal coupling arise in different theories, such as massive gravity or braneworld models. We will review the main phenomenology associated with such particles. Distinctive disformal signatures could be measured at colliders and with astrophysical observations. The phenomeno-logical relevance of the disformal coupling demands the introduction of a set of symmetries, which may ensure the stability of these new degrees of freedom. In such a case, they constitute natural dark matter candidates since they are generally massive and weakly coupled. We will illustrate these ideas by paying particular attention to the branon case, since these questions arise naturally in braneworld models with low tension, where they were first discussed.
