Form Factor Dark Matter
We present a dynamical alternative to inelastic dark matter as a way of reconciling the modulating signal seen at DAMA with null results at other direct detection experiments. The essential ingredient is a new form factor which introduces momentum dependence in the interaction of dark matter with nuclei. The role of the form factor is to suppress events at low momentum transfer. We find that a ...
متن کاملSuperheavy dark matter as UHECR source versus the SUGAR data
Decay or annihilation products of superheavy dark matter (SHDM) could be responsible for the end of the Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Ray (UHECR) spectrum. In this case, the south array of the Pierre Auger Observatory should observe in the future a significant anisotropy of UHECR arrival directions towards the galactic center. Here we use the already existing data of the SUGAR array to test this pos...
متن کاملAxinos as Dark Matter
Supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model which incorporate the axion solution to the strong CP problem necessarily contain also the axino, the fermionic partner of the axion. In contrast to the neutralino and the gravitino, the axino mass is generically not of the order of the supersymmetry breaking scale and can be much smaller. The axino is therefore an intriguing candidate for a stabl...
متن کاملWIMPonium and Boost Factors for Indirect Dark Matter Detection∗
We argue that WIMP dark matter can annihilate via long-lived “WIMPonium” bound states in reasonable particle physics models of dark matter (DM). WIMPonium bound states can occur at or near threshold leading to substantial enhancements in the DM annihilation rate, closely related to the Sommerfeld effect. Large “boost factor” amplifications in the annihilation rate can thus occur without large d...
متن کاملDark Energy as a Property of Dark Matter
A novel model of dark matter (DM), elastically compressible, can contribute to the acceleration of our Universe expansion. While each galaxy compresses its own DM within its gravitation field, the DM bordering neighboring galaxies, far from their centers, is pulled apart. It is shown that, although the DM pressure tends to zero at such locations, the DM compressibility tends to infinity. This a...
