Cosmic ray-dark matter scattering: a new signature of (asymmetric) dark matter in the gamma ray sky

Journal Article Profumo, Stefano ; Ubaldi, Lorenzo - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We consider the process of scattering of Galactic cosmic-ray electrons and protons off of dark matter with the radiation of a final-state photon. This process provides a novel way to search for Galactic dark matter with gamma rays. We argue that for a generic weakly interacting massive particle, barring effects such as co-annihilation or a velocity-dependent cross section, the gamma-ray emission from cosmic-ray scattering off of dark matter is typically smaller than that from dark matter pair-annihilation. However, if dark matter particles cannot pair-annihilate, as is the case for example in asymmetric dark matter scenarios, cosmic-ray scattering with final statemore »« less

Charge asymmetric cosmic rays as a probe of flavor violating asymmetric dark matter

Journal Article Masina, Isabella ; Sannino, Francesco - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

The recently introduced cosmic sum rules combine the data from PAMELA and Fermi-LAT cosmic ray experiments in a way that permits to neatly investigate whether the experimentally observed lepton excesses violate charge symmetry. One can in a simple way determine universal properties of the unknown component of the cosmic rays. Here we attribute a potential charge asymmetry to the dark sector. In particular we provide models of asymmetric dark matter able to produce charge asymmetric cosmic rays. We consider spin zero, spin one and spin one-half decaying dark matter candidates. We show that lepton flavor violation and asymmetric dark mattermore »« less

Asymmetric Dark Matter and Dark Radiation

Journal Article Blennow, Mattias ; Martinez, Enrique Fernandez ; Mena, Olga ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Asymmetric Dark Matter (ADM) models invoke a particle-antiparticle asymmetry, similar to the one observed in the Baryon sector, to account for the Dark Matter (DM) abundance. Both asymmetries are usually generated by the same mechanism and generally related, thus predicting DM masses around 5 GeV in order to obtain the correct density. The main challenge for successful models is to ensure efficient annihilation of the thermally produced symmetric component of such a light DM candidate without violating constraints from collider or direct searches. A common way to overcome this involves a light mediator, into which DM can efficiently annihilate andmore »« less

Self-interacting asymmetric dark matter coupled to a light massive dark photon

Journal Article Petraki, Kalliopi ; Pearce, Lauren ; Kusenko, Alexander - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Dark matter (DM) with sizeable self-interactions mediated by a light species offers a compelling explanation of the observed galactic substructure; furthermore, the direct coupling between DM and a light particle contributes to the DM annihilation in the early universe. If the DM abundance is due to a dark particle-antiparticle asymmetry, the DM annihilation cross-section can be arbitrarily large, and the coupling of DM to the light species can be significant. We consider the case of asymmetric DM interacting via a light (but not necessarily massless) Abelian gauge vector boson, a dark photon. In the massless dark photon limit, gauge invariancemore »« less

Dark unification: A UV-complete theory of asymmetric dark matter

Journal Article Murgui, Clara ; Zurek, Kathryn M. - Physical Review D

Motivated by the observed ratio of dark matter to baryon mass densities, ρ_D/ρ_B ≃ 5, we propose a theory of dark-color unification. In this theory, the dark to visible baryon masses are fixed by the ratio of dark to visible confinement scales, which are determined to be nearby in mass through the unification of the dark and visible gauge theories at a high scale. Together with a mechanism for dark baryogenesis, which arises naturally from the grand unification sector, the mass densities of the two sectors must be nearby, explaining the observed mass density of dark matter. We focus onmore »« less
