New Constraints on “ Cool ” Dark Matter
It has been suggested that a sterile neutrino ν s which mixes with standard neutrinos can form nonthermal " cool " Dark Matter if its mass and mixing angle fall in the ranges 0.1 keV < ∼ m s < ∼ 10 keV and 10 −10 < ∼ sin 2 θ < ∼ 10 −4 , respectively. We point out that the required mixing makes these heavy neutrinos unstable. The dominant decay mode is into three light neutrinos, but the most st...
متن کاملCosmological constraints on Neutrino - Dark Matter interactions
I summarize the results of a recent analysis where the cosmological effects of interactions of neutrinos with cold Dark Matter (DM) is investigated. This interaction produces diffusion-damped oscillations in the matter power spectrum, analogous to the acoustic oscillations in the baryon-photon fluid. I discuss the bounds from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey on the corresponding opacity defined as ...
متن کاملGamma ray constraints on Decaying Dark Matter
We derive new bounds on decaying Dark Matter from the gamma ray measurements of (i) the isotropic residual (extragalactic) background by Fermi and (ii) the Fornax galaxy cluster by H.E.S.S.. We find that those from (i) are among the most stringent constraints currently available, for a large range of DM masses and a variety of decay modes, excluding half-lives up to ∼ 1026 to few 1027 seconds. ...
متن کاملDirect detection constraints on dark photon dark matter
Article history: Received 20 January 2015 Received in revised form 7 May 2015 Accepted 10 June 2015 Available online 11 June 2015 Editor: A. Ringwald Dark matter detectors built primarily to probe elastic scattering of WIMPs on nuclei are also precise probes of light, weakly coupled, particles that may be absorbed by the detector material. In this paper, we derive constraints on the minimal mod...
متن کاملParticle Dark Matter: Evidence, Candidates and Constraints
In this review article, we discuss the current status of particle dark matter, including experimental evidence and theoretical motivations. We discuss a wide array of candidates for particle dark matter, but focus on neutralinos in models of supersymmetry and Kaluza-Klein dark matter in models of universal extra dimensions. We devote much of our attention to direct and indirect detection techni...
