A Dark Matter Candidate With New Strong Interactions
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the possibility that dark matter is a baryon of a new strongly interacting gauge theory, which was introduced in the low energy theory of Cosmological SUSY Breaking (CSB). This particle can fit the observed dark matter density if an appropriate cosmological asymmetry is generated. The same mechanism can also explain the dark/baryonic matter ratio in the universe. The mass of the dark matter particle is in the multiple TeV range, and could be as high as 20 TeV.

Constraints on Dark Matter interactions from structure formation: Damping lengths
Weakly Interacting Massive Particles are often said to be the best Dark Matter candidates. Studies have shown that large Dark Matter-photon or Dark Matter-baryon interactions could be allowed by cosmology. Here we address the question of the role of the Dark Matter interactions in more detail to determine at which extent Dark Matter has to be necessarily weakly interacting. To this purpose, we ...
متن کاملSelf-Interacting Dark Matter
Spergel and Steinhardt have recently proposed the concept of dark matter with strong self-interactions as a means to address numerous discrepancies between observations of dark matter halos on subgalactic scales and the predictions of the standard collisionless dark matter picture. We review the motivations for this scenario and discuss some recent, successful numerical tests. We also discuss t...
متن کاملDetecting Dark Matter using Centrifuging Techniques
A new and inexpensive technique for detecting self interacting dark matter in the form of small grains in bulk matter is proposed. Depending on the interactions with ordinary matter, dark matter grains in bulk matter may be isolated by using a centrifuge and using ordinary matter as a filter. The case of mirror matter interacting with ordinary matter via photon-mirror photon kinetic mixing prov...
متن کاملQuirky Composite Dark Matter
We propose a new dark matter candidate, “quirky dark matter,” that is a scalar baryonic bound state of a new non-Abelian force that becomes strong below the electroweak scale. The bound state is made of chiral quirks: new fermions that transform under both the new strong force as well as in a chiral representation of the electroweak group, acquiring mass from the Higgs mechanism. Electric charg...
متن کاملDark-matter fermion from left-right symmetry
In an unconventional realization of left-right symmetry, the particle corresponding to the left-handed neutrino L [with SUð2ÞL interactions] in the right-handed sector, call it nR [with SUð2ÞR interactions], is not its Dirac mass partner, but a different particle which may be a dark-matter candidate. In parallel to leptogenesis in the SUð2ÞL sector, asymmetric production of nR may occur in the ...
