The continuum dark matter zoo

A bstract We generalize the recently proposed continuum dark matter model to case where consists of a spin-1/2 or spin-1 gapped continuum. construct simple analogs weakly interacting massive particles annihilating through Z portal. discuss all existing experimental constraints, with strongest bounds arising from indirect detection and limits on decays cosmic microwave background. Our models are phenomenologically viable for gap scales 60–200 GeV (spin-1/2) 35–90 (spin-1), owing strong kinematic suppression direct which is unique states. comment future prospects suggest directions further building.
