Abstract: We consider a U(1)XotimesmathbbZ2otimesmathbbZ'2 extension of the Standard Model (SM), where the U(1)X charge of an SM field is given by a linear combination of its hypercharge and BL number. Apart from the SM particle content, the model contains three right-handed neutrinos (RHNs) NRi and two scalars Phi, chi, all singlets under the SM gauge group but charged under U(1)X gauge group. Two of these additional fields, fermion NR3 is odd under mathbbZ2 and scalar chi is odd under mathbbZ'2 symmetry. Thus both chi and NR3 contribute to the observed dark matter relic density, leading to two-component dark matter candidates. We study in detail its dark matter properties such as relic density and direct detection taking into account the constraints coming from collider studies. We find that in our model, there can be possible annihilation of one Dark Matter (DM) into the other, which may potentially alter the relic density in a significant way.
