Decaying Hidden Dark Matter in Warped Compactification
نویسنده
چکیده
The recent ATIC and PAMELA experiments have observed an excess of electrons and positrons, but not anti-protons, in the high energy cosmic rays. To explain this result, we construct a decaying hidden dark matter model in string theory compactification that incorporates the following two ingredients, the hidden dark matter scenario in warped compactification and the phenomenological proposal of hidden light particles that decay to the Standard Model. In this model, on higher dimensional warped branes, various warped Kaluza-Klein particles and the zero-mode of gauge field play roles of the hidden dark matter or mediators to the Standard Model.

D̄-brane as Dark Matter in Warped String Compactification
It is pointed out that in the warped string compactification, motion of D̄-branes near the bottom of a throat behaves like dark matter. Several scenarios for production of the dark matter are suggested, including one based on the D/D̄ interaction at the late stage of D/D̄ inflation. UTAP-525, RESCEU-8/05
متن کاملHeating in Brane Inflation and Hidden Dark Matter
Towards the end of brane inflation, the brane pair annihilation produces massive closed strings. The transfer of this energy to Standard Model (SM) open string modes depends on where the SM branes and the brane annihilation are located: in the bulk, in the same throat or in different throats. We find that, in all cases as long as the brane annihilation and the SM branes are not both in the bulk...
متن کاملGravity-mediated (or composite) dark matter
Dark matter could have an electroweak origin, yet it could communicate with the visible sector exclusively through gravitational interactions. In a setup addressing the hierarchy problem, we propose a new dark-matter scenario where gravitational mediators, arising from the compactification of extra dimensions, are responsible for dark-matter interactions and its relic abundance in the Universe....
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 کاملDecaying Hidden Gaugino as a Source of PAMELA/ATIC Anomalies
We study a scenario that a U(1) hidden gaugino constitutes the dark matter in the Universe and decays into a lepton and slepton pair through a mixing with a U(1)B−L gaugino. We find that the dark-matter decay can account for the recent PAMELA and ATIC anomalies in the cosmic-ray positrons and electrons without an overproduction of antiprotons.
