Title: Spontaneous dark-matter mass generation along cosmological attractors in string theory

Abstract

We propose a new scenario for generating a relic density of non-relativistic dark matter in the context of heterotic string theory. Contrary to standard thermal freeze-out scenarios, dark-matter particles are abundantly produced while still relativistic, and then decouple from the thermal bath due to the sudden increase of their mass above the universe temperature. This mass variation is sourced by the condensation of an order-parameter modulus, which is triggered when the temperature T(t) drops below the supersymmetry breaking scale M(t), which are both time-dependent. A cosmological attractor mechanism forces this phase transition to take place, in an explicit class of heterotic string models with spontaneously broken supersymmetry, and at finite temperature.

Spontaneous freeze out of dark matter from an early thermal phase transition

Journal Article Heurtier, Lucien ; Partouche, Hervé - Physical Review D

We propose a new paradigm for the thermal production of dark matter in the early Universe, in which dark-matter particles acquire their mass and freeze out spontaneously from the thermal bath after a dark phase transition takes place. The decoupling arises because the dark-matter particles become suddenly nonrelativistic and not because of any decay channel becoming kinematically close. We propose a minimal scenario in which a scalar and a fermionic dark matter are in thermal equilibrium with the standard-model bath. We compute the finite temperature corrections to the scalar potential and identify a region of the parameter space where the fermionic dark-matter mass spontaneously jumps over the temperature when the dark phase transition happens. We explore the phenomenological implications of such a model in simple cases and show that the annihilation cross section of dark-matter particles has to be larger by more than 1 order of magnitude as compared to the usual constant-mass weakly interacting massive particle scenario in order to accommodate the correct relic abundance. We show that in the spontaneous freeze out regime a TeV-scale fermionic dark matter that annihilates into leptons throughmore »« less

Inflaton portal to a highly decoupled EeV dark matter particle

Journal Article Heurtier, Lucien ; Huang, Fei - Physical Review D

We explore the possibility that the dark matter relic abundance is generated in a context where the inflaton is the only mediator between the visible and the hidden sectors of our Universe. Due to the relatively large mass of the inflaton field, such a portal leads to an extremely feeble interaction between the dark and the visible sectors, suggesting that the dark sector cannot reach any thermal equilibrium with the visible sector. After the two sectors are populated by the decay of the inflaton, a heavy dark matter particle thermally decouples within the dark sector. Later, a lighter dark particle,more »« less

GUT precursors and entwined SUSY: The phenomenology of stable nonsupersymmetric strings

Journal Article Abel, Steven ; Dienes, Keith R. ; Mavroudi, Eirini - Physical Review. D.

Recent work has established a method of constructing nonsupersymmetric string models that are stable, with near-vanishing one-loop dilaton tadpoles and cosmological constants. This opens up the tantalizing possibility of realizing stable string models whose low-energy limits directly resemble the Standard Model rather than one of its supersymmetric extensions. In this paper we consider the general structure of such strings and find that they share two important phenomenological properties. The first is a so-called “GUT-precursor” structure in which new GUT-like states appear with masses that can be many orders of magnitude lighter than the scale of gauge coupling unification. These statesmore »« less

Light higgsino dark matter from non-thermal cosmology

Journal Article Aparicio, Luis ; Cicoli, Michele ; Dutta, Bhaskar ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We study the scenario of higgsino dark matter in the context of a non-standard cosmology with a period of matter domination prior to Big Bang nucleosynthesis. Matter domination changes the dark matter relic abundance if it ends via reheating to a temperature below the higgsino thermal freeze-out temperature. We perform a model independent analysis of the higgsino dark matter production in such scenario. We show that light higgsino-type dark matter is possible for reheating temperatures close to 1 GeV. We study the impact of dark matter indirect detection and collider physics in this context. We show that Fermi-LAT data rulemore »« less

Phenomenology and cosmology of no-scale attractor models of inflation

Journal Article Ellis, John ; Nanopoulos, Dimitri V. ; Olive, Keith A. ; ... - Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics

We have recently proposed attractor models for modulus fixing, inflation, supersymmetry breaking and dark energy based on no-scale supergravity. In this paper we develop phenomenological and cosmological aspects of these no-scale attractor models that underpin their physical applications. We consider models in which inflation is driven by a modulus field (T-type) with supersymmetry broken by a Polonyi field, or a matter field (φ-type) with supersymmetry broken by the modulus field. We derive the possible patterns of soft supersymmetry-breaking terms, which depend in T-type models whether the Polonyi and/or matter fields are twisted or not, and in φ-type models on whethermore »« less
