Popis: Abstract We propose a B − L gauged extension of the Standard Model where light neutrino masses arise from type III seesaw mechanism. Unlike the minimal B − L model with three right handed neutrinos having unit lepton number each, the model with three fermion triplets is however not anomaly free. We show that the leftover triangle anomalies can be cancelled by two neutral Dirac fermions having fractional B − L charges, both of which are naturally stable by virtue of a remnant ℤ2 × ℤ 2 ′ $$ {\mathbb{Z}}_2^{\prime } $$ symmetry, naturally leading to a two component dark matter scenario without any ad-hoc symmetries. We constrain the model from all relevant phenomenological constraints including dark matter properties. Light neutrino mass and collider prospects are also discussed briefly. Due to additional neutral gauge bosons, the fermion triplets in type III seesaw can have enhanced production cross section in collider experiment.
