Millicharged dark matter in quantum gravity and string theory.
We examine the millicharged dark matter scenario from a string theory perspective. In this scenario, kinetic and mass mixings of the photon with extra U(1) bosons are claimed to give rise to small electric charges, carried by dark matter particles, whose values are determined by continuous parameters of the theory. This seems to contradict folk theorems of quantum gravity that forbid the existe...
متن کاملDark Matter Sees The Light
We construct a Dark Matter (DM) annihilation module that can encompass the predictions from a wide array of models built to explain the recently reported PAMELA and ATIC/PPB-BETS excesses. We present a detailed analysis of the injection spectrums for DM annihilation and quantitatively demonstrate effects that have previously not been included from the particle physics perspective. With this mod...
متن کاملLight Higgsino Dark Matter
We re–investigate the question whether a light higgsino–like neutralino is a viable Dark Matter candidate. To this end we compute the dominant one–loop corrections to the masses of the higgsino–like states in the minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), due to loops involving heavy quarks and their superpartners. We also calculate analogous corrections to the couplings of higgsino–like neu...
متن کاملLIGHT DARK MATTER a
We show how light spin-1 2 or spin-0 particles may be acceptable Dark Matter candidates, provided they annihilate sufficiently strongly through new interactions, such as those induced by a new light neutral spin-1 boson U. The corresponding interaction is stronger than weak interactions at lower energies, but weaker at higher energies. Annihilation cross sections of (axially coupled) spin-1 2 D...
متن کاملLight on Dark Matter
Galaxies are lighthouses that sit atop peaks in the density field. There is good observational evidence that these lighthouses do not provide a uniform description of the distribution of dark matter.
