Abstract

We review the current status of model building for light dark matter in theories of QCD-like gauge groups in the hidden sector. The focus is upon the dark mesons with the \(SU(3)_V\) flavor symmetry in scenarios of Strongly Interacting Massive Particles. We show the production mechanism and the kinetic equilibrium condition for dark mesons and discuss a unitarization of dark chiral perturbation theory with vector mesons in the scheme of hidden gauge symmetry.
