Dark Matter interpretation of the neutron decay anomaly

چکیده

We add to the Standard Model a new fermion $\chi$ with minimal baryon number 1/3. Neutron decay $n \to \chi\chi\chi$ into non-relativistic can account for neutron anomaly, compatibly bounds from stars. be Dark Matter, and its cosmological abundance generated by freeze-in dominated at $T \sim m_n$. The associated processes \chi\chi\chi \gamma$, hydrogen ${\rm H}\to \chi\chi \chi\nu(\gamma)$ DM-induced disappearance $\bar\chi n \chi (\gamma)$ have rates below experimental of interest future experiments.

PAMELA/ATIC Anomaly from Exotic Mediated Dark Matter Decay

We discuss dark matter decay mediated by exotically charged particles (“exotics”) in a supersymmetric model with two dark matter (DM) components: One is the (bino-like) lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) χ, and the other is a newly introduced meta-stable neutral singlet N . N decays to χe+e− via a dimension 6 operator induced by a penguintype one loop diagram with the life time of 1026 sec....

SUSY interpretation of the Egret GeV anomaly, Xenon-10 dark matter search limits and the LHC

The observation of the Egret experiment of an excess of diffuse gamma rays with energies above Eγ = 1 GeV has previously been interpreted in the context of the minimal supergravity model (mSUGRA) as coming from neutralino annihilation into mainly bquarks in the galactic halo, with neutralino mass in the vicinity of 50-70 GeV. We observe that in order to obtain the correct relic abundance of neu...

Antideuterons from Dark Matter Decay

Recent observations of a large excess of cosmic-ray positrons at high energies have raised a lot of interest in leptonic decay modes of dark matter particles. Nevertheless, dark matter particles in the Milky Way halo could also decay hadronically, producing not only a flux of antiprotons but also a flux of antideuterons. We show that for certain choices of parameters the antideuteron flux from ...

Decaying Dark Matter and the PAMELA Anomaly

Astrophysical and cosmological observations do not require the dark matter particles to be absolutely stable. If they are indeed unstable, their decay into positrons might occur at a sufficiently large rate to allow the indirect detection of dark matter through an anomalous contribution to the cosmic positron flux. In this paper we discuss the implications of the excess in the positron fraction...

Antimatter Signatures of Gravitino Dark Matter Decay

The scenario of gravitino dark matter with broken R-parity naturally reconciles three paradigms that, albeit very well motivated separately, seem to be in mutual conflict: supersymmetric dark matter, thermal leptogenesis and standard Big Bang nucleosynthesis. Interestingly enough, the products of the gravitino decay could be observed, opening the possibility of indirect detection of gravitino d...
