Finite-Size Dark Matter and its Effect on Small-Scale Structure

Journal Article Chu, Xiaoyong ; Garcia-Cely, Camilo ; Murayama, Hitoshi - Physical Review Letters

If dark matter has a finite size that is larger than its Compton wavelength, the corresponding self-interaction cross section decreases with the velocity. We investigate the implications of this puffy dark matter for addressing the small-scale problems of the Λ cold dark matter model and show that the way the nonrelativistic cross section varies with the velocity is largely independent of the dark matter internal structure. Even in the presence of a light particle mediating self-interactions, we find that the finite-size effect may dominate the velocity dependence. We present an explicit example in the context of a QCD-like theory andmore »« less

Concentrated dark matter: Enhanced small-scale structure from codecaying dark matter

Journal Article Dror, Jeff A. ; Kuflik, Eric ; Melcher, Brandon ; ... - Physical Review D

We study the cosmological consequences of codecaying dark matter - a recently proposed mechanism for depleting the density of dark matter through the decay of nearly degenerate particles. A generic prediction of this framework is an early dark matter dominated phase in the history of the Universe, that results in the enhanced growth of dark matter perturbations on small scales. We compute the duration of the early matter dominated phase and show that the perturbations are robust against washout from free streaming. The enhanced small-scale structure is expected to survive today in the form of compact microhalos and can leadmore »« less

Destruction of small-scale dark matter clumps in the hierarchical structures and galaxies

Journal Article Berezinsky, Veniamin ; Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow ; Dokuchaev, Vyacheslav ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

A mass function of small-scale dark matter clumps is calculated in the standard cosmological scenario with an inflationary-produced primordial fluctuation spectrum and with a hierarchical clustering. We take into account the tidal destruction of clumps at early stages of structure formation starting from a time of clump detachment from the Universe expansion. Only a small fraction of these clumps, {approx}0.1%-0.5%, in each logarithmic mass interval {delta}logM{approx}1 survives the stage of hierarchical clustering. The surviving clumps can be disrupted further in the galaxies by tidal interactions with stars. We performed the detailed calculations of the tidal destruction of clumps by starsmore »« less

Dark matter from late decays and the small-scale structure problems

Journal Article Borzumati, Francesca ; Department of Physics, National Central University, Chung-Li 32054, Taiwan ; Bringmann, Torsten ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The generation of dark matter in late decays of quasistable massive particles has been proposed as a viable framework to address the excess of power found in numerical N-body simulations for cold dark matter cosmologies. We identify a convenient set of variables to illustrate which requirements need to be satisfied in any generic particle-physics model to address the small-scale problems and to fulfill other astrophysical constraints. As a result of this model-independent analysis, we point out that meeting these requirements in a completely natural way is inherently difficult. In particular, we reexamine the role of gravitinos and Kaluza-Klein gravitons inmore »« less

Solving the small-scale structure puzzles with dissipative dark matter

Journal Article Foot, Robert ; Vagnozzi, Sunny - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Small-scale structure is studied in the context of dissipative dark matter, arising for instance in models with a hidden unbroken Abelian sector, so that dark matter couples to a massless dark photon. The dark sector interacts with ordinary matter via gravity and photon-dark photon kinetic mixing. Mirror dark matter is a theoretically constrained special case where all parameters are fixed except for the kinetic mixing strength, ε. In these models, the dark matter halo around spiral and irregular galaxies takes the form of a dissipative plasma which evolves in response to various heating and cooling processes. It has been arguedmore »« less
