Light on Dark Matter

چکیده
Galaxies are lighthouses that sit atop peaks in the density field. There is good observational evidence that these lighthouses do not provide a uniform description of the distribution of dark matter.

Impact of dark matter decays and annihilations on reionzation
One of the possible methods to distinguish among various dark matter candidates is to study the effects of dark matter decays. We consider four different dark matter candidates (light dark matter, gravitinos, neutralinos and sterile neutrinos), for each of them deriving the decaying/annihilation rate, the influence on reionization, matter temperature and CMB spectra. We find that light dark mat...
متن کاملSinglet scalar dark matter in noncommutative space
In this paper, we examine the singlet scalar dark matter annihilation to becoming the Standard Model particles in the non-commutative space. In the recent decades, many candidates of dark matter have been offered, but our information about the nature of dark matter is still limited. There are such particle candidates as scalar matetr, fermion, boson, gauge boson, etc.; however, they have nei...
متن کاملLight Higgses and Dark Matter at Bottom and Charm Factories
Neither Dark Matter nor scalar particles in the Higgs sector are ruled out at energies accessible to bottom and charm factories. In Dark Matter searches, the error on the mass of Dark Matter is ∼ 4 GeV in the best LHC studies. For light Dark Matter this could represent a 100% (or more) error. In Higgs searches, the presence of a light singlet Higgs can make the LHC Higgs search difficult, if no...
متن کاملThe Distribution of Dark Matter in the Milky Way Galaxy
A wealth of recent observational studies shows the dark matter in the Milky Way to have the following fundamental properties: 1) there is no detectable dark matter associated with the Galactic disk – the dark matter is distributed in a purely halo distribution with local volume density near the Earth ≈ 0.3GeV/cc ≡ 0.01M⊙pc; 2) The stellar mass function is both universal and convergent at low ma...
متن کاملScalar Dark Matter candidates
We investigate the possibility that Dark Matter could be made of scalar candidates and focus, in particular, on the unusual mass range between a few MeV’s and a few GeV’s. After showing why the Lee-Weinberg limit (which usually forbids a Dark Matter mass below a few GeV’s) does not necessarily apply in the case of scalar particles, we discuss how light candidates (mdm < O(GeV) ) can satisfy bot...
