Leptophilic dark matter from the lepton asymmetry.
We present a model of weak scale dark matter (DM) where the thermal DM density is set by the lepton asymmetry due to the presence of higher dimension lepton violating operators. In these models there is generically a separation between the annihilation cross section responsible for the relic abundance (through lepton violating operators) and the annihilation cross section that is relevant for t...
متن کاملLeptophilic dark matter in lepton interactions at LEP and ILC
Dark matter particles that couple primarily to leptons are only weakly constrained by data from direct detection experiments and the LHC. However, models of this kind necessarily generate effective four-lepton contact interactions at the treeor one-looplevel, which can be probed in e+e− collisions. In this work, precise data from LEP is used to derive limits on leptophilic dark matter in a mode...
متن کاملExplore Inert Dark Matter Blind Spots with Gravitational Wave Signatures
Motivated by the absence of dark matter signals in direct detection experiments (such as the recent LUX and PandaX-II experiments) and the discovery of gravitational waves (GWs) at aLIGO, we discuss the possibility to explore a generic classes of scalar dark matter models using the complementary searches via phase transition GWs and the future lepton collider signatures. We focus on the inert s...
متن کاملCosmic Rays from Leptophilic Dark Matter Decay via Kinetic Mixing
If interpreted in terms of decaying dark matter, the steep rise in the positron fraction of cosmic rays above 10GeV, as observed by the PAMELA experiment, suggests an underlying production mechanism that favors leptonic channels. We consider a scenario where a portion of the dark matter is made of the gauginos of an unbroken hidden-sector U(1)X , which interact with the visible sector only thro...
متن کاملStochastic gravitational wave background from cold dark matter halos
The current knowledge of cosmological structure formation suggests that Cold Dark Matter (CDM) halos possess a non-spherical density profile, implying that cosmic structures can be potential sources of gravitational waves via power transfer from scalar perturbations to tensor metric modes in the non-linear regime. By means of a previously developed mathematical formalism and a triaxial collapse...
