DESCRIPTION:Models of inelastic (or pseudo-Dirac) Dark Matter (DM) commonl
 y assume an accidental symmetry between the left-handed and right-handed m
 ass terms in order to suppress diagonal couplings. We point out that this 
 symmetry is unnecessary\, because for Majorana fermions the diagonal coupl
 ings are not strongly constrained. Removing the requirement of such an acc
 idental ad-hoc symmetry instead relaxes the relic density constraint due t
 o additional annihilation modes.\n\nIn the talk\, I will review the concep
 ts around inelastic DM and introduce a simple UV-complete model realizing 
 the new asymmetric set-up. Then\, I will briefly comment on how freeze-out
  can produce the right abundance of DM in this class of models. I will exp
 lain how traditional constraints from (in)direct detection\, beam dump exp
 eriments and colliders are modified indicating two viable mass regions for
  the DM particle\, around a few hundred MeV and around a few GeV. The form
 er region will be fully tested by near-future analyses of NA64 and Belle I
 I data\, while the latter turns out to be challenging to explore even with
  future experiments.\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/7591/
