Cosmic Rays from Leptophilic Dark Matter Decay via Kinetic Mixing
If interpreted in terms of decaying dark matter, the steep rise in the positron fraction of cosmic rays above 10GeV, as observed by the PAMELA experiment, suggests an underlying production mechanism that favors leptonic channels. We consider a scenario where a portion of the dark matter is made of the gauginos of an unbroken hidden-sector U(1)X , which interact with the visible sector only thro...
متن کاملSearching for Signals of Dark Matter Decay
Dark matter is believed to comprise approximately eighty-three percent of the matter in the universe, yet little is known about how it fits into our picture of the elementary particles that make up the world around us. There are now many great efforts underway to try and detect dark matter and probe the nature of its relation to the Standard Model of particle physics. In this work we investigat...
متن کاملCosmic gamma-ray background from dark matter annihilation
High-energy photons from pair annihilation of dark matter particles contribute to the cosmic gamma-ray background (CGB) observed in a wide energy range. The precise shape of the energy spectrum of CGB depends on the nature of dark matter particles. In order to discriminate between the signals from dark matter annihilation and other astrophysical sources, however, the information from the energy...
متن کاملGamma Ray Spectra from Dark Matter Annihilation and Decay
In this paper, we study gamma ray spectra for various scenarios of dark matter annihilation and decay. We focus on processes which generate only high-energy photons or leptons and photons, but no proton-antiproton pairs, to be compatible with PAMELA’s data. We investigate photons produced directly from two-body decay chains and photons produced together with charged particles. For the former ca...
متن کاملAntideuterons from Dark Matter Decay
Recent observations of a large excess of cosmic-ray positrons at high energies have raised a lot of interest in leptonic decay modes of dark matter particles. Nevertheless, dark matter particles in the Milky Way halo could also decay hadronically, producing not only a flux of antiprotons but also a flux of antideuterons. We show that for certain choices of parameters the antideuteron flux from ...
