Thermal dark matter from a highly decoupled sector

Journal Article Berlin, Asher ; Hooper, Dan ; Krnjaic, Gordan - Physical Review D

It has recently been shown that if the dark matter is in thermal equilibrium with a sector that is highly decoupled from the Standard Model, it can freeze out with an acceptable relic abundance, even if the dark matter is as heavy as ~1–100 PeV. In such scenarios, both the dark and visible sectors are populated after inflation, but with independent temperatures. The lightest particle in the dark sector will be generically long-lived and can come to dominate the energy density of the Universe. Upon decaying, these particles can significantly reheat the visible sector, diluting the abundance of dark mattermore »« less

Novel gamma-ray signatures of PeV-scale dark matter

Journal Article Blanco, Carlos ; Harding, J. Patrick ; Hooper, Dan - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

Here, the gamma-ray annihilation and decay products of very heavy dark matter particles can undergo attenuation through pair production, leading to the development of electromagnetic cascades. This has a significant impact not only on the spectral shape of the gamma-ray signal, but also on the angular distribution of the observed photons. Such phenomena are particularly important in light of the new HAWC experiment, which provides unprecedented sensitivity to multi-TeV photons and thus to very heavy dark matter particles. In this study, we focus on dark matter in the 100 TeV–100 PeV mass range, and calculate the spectral and angular distributionmore »« less

Requirements to detect the monoenergetic photon signature of thermal cold dark matter in PeV-scale split supersymmetry

Journal Article Thomas, Brooks - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Split supersymmetry scenarios with PeV-scale scalar masses circumvent many of the restrictions on supersymmetry coming from experimental limits on CP violation, flavor-changing neutral currents, and the Higgs boson mass. We consider the situation where the lightest supersymmetric particle is either a W-ino or Higgsino and the majority of its cold dark-matter relic density is of thermal origin, in which case its mass is specified to be 2.3 TeV for a W-ino or 1.1 TeV for a Higgsino. We examine the potential for indirect detection, at present and future {gamma}-ray telescopes, of the monoenergetic photon lines that would result from themore »« less

Recommendations of the LHC Dark Matter Working Group: Comparing LHC searches for dark matter mediators in visible and invisible decay channels and calculations of the thermal relic density

Journal Article Albert, Andreas ; Backović, Mihailo ; Boveia, Antonio ; ... - Physics of the Dark Universe

Weakly-coupled TeV-scale particles may mediate the interactions between normal matter and dark matter. If so, the LHC would produce dark matter through these mediators, leading to the familiar "mono-X" search signatures, but the mediators would also produce signals without missing momentum via the same vertices involved in their production. This document from the LHC Dark Matter Working Group suggests how to compare searches for these two types of signals in case of vector and axial-vector mediators, based on a workshop that took place on September 19/20, 2016 and subsequent discussions. These suggestions include how to extend the spin-1 mediated simplifiedmore »« less

Dark matter from PeV physics and the neutrino sector

Journal Article Shakya, Bibhushan ; Roland, Samuel B. ; Wells, James D. - AIP Conference Proceedings

It is well known that the neutrino sector can provide a dark matter candidate in the form of a light sterile neutrino. This note discusses a framework that naturally leads to light (keV-GeV) sterile neutrino dark matter produced via the freeze-in mechanism: a modified, low energy seesaw with the right-handed neutrinos charged under a new symmetry broken by a PeV scale vacuum expectation value. This framework can accommodate the recently observed 3.5 keV X-ray line, while a straightforward extension, using the new symmetry and the PeV energy scale, can explain the PeV energy neutrino events at IceCube. Together, these canmore »« less
