Impacts of dark matter particle annihilation on recombination and the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background

Journal Article Le, Zhang ; Department of Physics, Shandong University, Jinan, 250100 ; Xuelei, Chen ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The recombination history of the Universe provides a useful tool for constraining the annihilation of dark matter particles. Even a small fraction of dark matter particles annihilated during the cosmic dark age can provide sufficient energy to affect the ionization state of the baryonic gas. Although this effect is too small for neutralinos, lighter dark matter particle candidates, e.g. with mass of 1-100 MeV, which was proposed recently to explain the observed excess of positrons in the galactic center, may generate observable differences in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature and polarization anisotropies.

Effects of cold dark matter decoupling and pair annihilation on cosmological perturbations

Journal Article Bertschinger, Edmund - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) are part of the lepton-photon plasma in the early universe until kinetic decoupling, after which time the particles behave like a collisionless gas with nonzero temperature. The Boltzmann equation for WIMP-lepton collisions is reduced to a Fokker-Planck equation for the evolution of the WIMP distribution including scalar density perturbations. This equation and the Einstein and fluid equations for the plasma are solved numerically including the acoustic oscillations of the plasma before and during kinetic decoupling, the frictional damping occurring during kinetic decoupling, and the free-streaming damping occurring afterwards and throughout the radiation-dominated era.

Isotropic extragalactic flux from dark matter annihilations: lessons from interacting dark matter scenarios

Journal Article Moliné, Ángeles ; Schewtschenko, Jascha A. ; Boehm, Céline ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

The extragalactic γ-ray and neutrino emission may have a contribution from dark matter (DM) annihilations. In the case of discrepancies between observations and standard predictions, one could infer the DM pair annihilation cross section into cosmic rays by studying the shape of the energy spectrum. So far all analyses of the extragalactic DM signal have assumed the standard cosmological model (ΛCDM) as the underlying theory. However, there are alternative DM scenarios where the number of low-mass objects is significantly suppressed. Therefore the characteristics of the γ-ray and neutrino emission in these models may differ from ΛCDM as a result. Heremore »« less

Indirect dark matter signatures in the cosmic dark ages. I. Generalizing the bound on $s$ -wave dark matter annihilation from Planck results

Journal Article Slatyer, Tracy R. - Physical Review D

Recent measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies by Planck provide a sensitive probe of dark matter annihilation during the cosmic dark ages, and specifically constrain the annihilation parameter f_eff<σv>=m_χ. Using new results (paper II) for the ionization produced by particles injected at arbitrary energies, we calculate and provide f_eff values for photons and e⁺e^- pairs injected at keV-TeV energies; the f_eff value for any dark matter model can be obtained straightforwardly by weighting these results by the spectrum of annihilation products. This result allows the sensitive and robust constraints on dark matter annihilation presented by the Planck collaborationmore »« less

Effects of p-wave annihilation on the angular power spectrum of extragalactic gamma-rays from dark matter annihilation

Journal Article Campbell, Sheldon ; Dutta, Bhaskar - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We present a formalism for estimating the angular power spectrum of extragalactic gamma-rays produced by dark matter annihilating with any general velocity-dependent cross section. The relevant density and velocity distribution of dark matter is modeled as an ensemble of smooth, universal, rigid, disjoint, spherical halos with distribution and universal properties constrained by simulation data. We apply this formalism to theories of dark matter with p-wave annihilation, for which the relative-velocity-weighted annihilation cross section is {sigma}v=a+bv{sup 2}. We determine that this significantly increases the gamma-ray power if b/a > or approx. 10{sup 6}. The effect of p-wave annihilation on the angularmore »« less
