Electroweak dark matter model accounting for the CDF $W$-mass anomaly

Recently, the CDF collaboration reported a new measurement of the $W$ boson mass $M_W = 80.4335 \pm 0.0094$ GeV, which shows a $\sim 7\sigma$ deviation from the standard model prediction $80.3545 \pm 0.0057$ GeV obtained by the electroweak (EW) global fit. This deviation can be explained by new physics generating moderate EW oblique parameters $S$, $T$, and $U$. In this work, we use the loop corrections induced by some extra EW multiplets to explain the CDF $M_W$ anomaly. The lightest neutral particle in the multiplets can also serve as a candidate of cold dark matter (DM). We consider two such models, namely singlet-triplet scalar DM and singlet-doublet fermionic DM models, and perform numerical scans to find the parameter points accounting for the $M_W$ anomaly. The constraints from the correct DM thermal relic density and direct detection are also taken into account. We find the parameter points simultaneously interpreting the $M_W$ anomaly and satisfying the DM requirements in the former model, but do not find such parameter points in the latter model.
