Abstract

In this paper, we provide a set of Hermitian interactions for quantum fields based on Elko, considering the recent achievements concerning the most general form of singular spinors and Wigner degeneracy. We consider Hermiticity and renormalizability a criterion to define the derivative Elko-Higgs interaction as the suitable candidate fora dark coupling. Then, the free parameters of the model are fixed by cosmological constraints on the dark matter abundance and limits on the electron-dark matter scattering mediated by the Higgs. (AU)
