Strongly interacting dark matter: Self-interactions and keV lines
Abstract
Herein, we consider a simple supersymmetric hidden sector: pure gauge theory. Dark matter is made up of hidden glueballinos with mass and hidden glueballs with mass near the confinement scale . For and , the glueballinos freeze out with the correct relic density and self-interact through glueball exchange to resolve small-scale structure puzzles. An immediate consequence is that the glueballino spectrum has a hyperfine splitting of order . We illustrate that the radiative decays of the excited state can explain the observed 3.5 keV x-ray line signal from clusters of galaxies, Andromeda, and the Milky Way.

abstractNote = {Herein, we consider a simple supersymmetric hidden sector: pure SU(N) gauge theory. Dark matter is made up of hidden glueballinos with mass mX and hidden glueballs with mass near the confinement scale Λ. For mX~1TeV and Λ~100MeV, the glueballinos freeze out with the correct relic density and self-interact through glueball exchange to resolve small-scale structure puzzles. An immediate consequence is that the glueballino spectrum has a hyperfine splitting of order Λ2/mX~10keV. We illustrate that the radiative decays of the excited state can explain the observed 3.5 keV x-ray line signal from clusters of galaxies, Andromeda, and the Milky Way.},
