Constraining dark matter through 21 cm observations
Beyond reionization epoch cosmic hydrogen is neutral and can be directly observed through its 21 cm line signal. If dark matter (DM) decays or annihilates the corresponding energy input affects the hydrogen kinetic temperature and ionized fraction, and contributes to the Lyα background. The changes induced by these processes on the 21 cm signal can then be used to constrain the proposed DM cand...
متن کاملAnti-helium from dark matter annihilations
Galactic Dark Matter (DM) annihilations can produce cosmic-ray anti-nuclei via the nuclear coalescence of the anti-protons and anti-neutrons originated directly from the annihilation process. Since anti-deuterons have been shown to offer a distinctive DM signal, with potentially good prospects for detection in large portions of the DM-particle parameter space, we explore here the production of ...
متن کاملDark Matter Signals from Cascade Annihilations
A leading interpretation of the electron/positron excesses seen by PAMELA and ATIC is dark matter annihilation in the galactic halo. Depending on the annihilation channel, the electron/positron signal could be accompanied by a galactic gamma ray or neutrino flux, and the non-detection of such fluxes constrains the couplings and halo properties of dark matter. In this paper, we study the interpl...
متن کاملGluino Annihilations and Neutralino Dark Matter
We consider supersymmetric scenarios, compatible with all cosmological and phenomenological requirements, where the lightest SUSY particles (LSPs) are the neutralino and a quasi degenerate gluino. We study the neutralino relic abundance, focusing on gluino (co-)annihilation effects. In case the neutralino is bino-like, in a wide mass window the relic abundance is naturally driven in the correct...
متن کاملBounds on Light Dark Matter
The nature of Dark Matter (DM) is one of the most intriguing questions of modern physics. Its resolution would have a profound impact on the development of particle physics beyond its Standard Model (SM). Although the possibility of having massive compact halo objects (MACHOs) as a dominant form of DM is still under debates (see recent discussion in [1] and references therein), it is widely bel...
