Title: Light Higgs boson, light dark matter and gamma rays.

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D

A light Higgs boson is preferred by M{sub W} and m{sub t} measurements. A complex scalar singlet addition to the standard model allows a better fit to these measurements through a new light singlet dominated state. It then predicts a light dark matter (DM) particle that can explain the signals of DM scattering from nuclei in the CoGeNT and DAMA/LIBRA experiments. Annihilations of this DM in the galactic halo, AA {yields} b{bar b}, c{bar c}, {tau}{sup +}{tau}{sup -}, lead to gamma rays that naturally improve a fit to the Fermi Large Area Telescope data in the central galactic regions. The associated light neutral Higgs boson may also be discovered at the Large Hadron Collider.
