Return of the WIMP: Missing energy signals and the Galactic Center excess
Abstract
In a recent work, we emphasized that an excess in tri-lepton events plusmissing energy observed by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC could be interpreted asa signal of low energy supersymmetry. In such a scenario the lightest neutralino massis approximatelymχ≃60 GeV and the direct Dark Matter detection cross section isnaturally below the current bound. In this work we present simple extensions of thisscenario that lead to an explanation of the gamma ray excess at the center of the galaxyobserved by Fermi-LAT, as well as the anti-proton excess observed by AMS-02. Theseextensions include the addition of a small CP violating phase in the neutralino sector orthe addition of a light CP-odd Higgs scalar. Our study is of special relevance in view ofa recent analysis that casts doubt on the previously accepted preference for mili-secondpulsars as the origin of the galactic center excess
