Massive Hidden Photons as Lukewarm Dark Matter
We study the possibility that a keV-MeV mass hidden photon (HP), i.e. a hidden sector U(1) gauge boson, accounts for the observed amount of dark matter. We focus on the case where the HP interacts with the standard model sector only through kinetic mixing with the photon. The relic abundance is computed including all relevant plasma effects into the photon’s self-energy, which leads to a resona...
متن کاملSearching for Dark Photons
Researchers have studied electron-positron (e+e-) collisions for interactions that produce a normal photon γ and a dark photon A′ that interacts with ordinary matter particles. The dark photon can potentially decay into an e+epair (shown here) or a μ+μpair (not shown). However, the latest results from the BaBar collaboration offer no sign of dark photons, thus placing new limits on these types ...
متن کاملMillicharged 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 کاملAre Dark Photons Behind Biophotons?
TGD approach leads to a prediction that biophotons result when dark photons with large value of effective Planck constant and large wavelength transform to ordinary photons with same energy. The recent progress in understanding the implications of basic vision behind TGD inspired theory of consciousness served as a particular motivation for developing a more detailed view about biophotons. 1. T...
متن کاملQuantum communication with dark photons
We show that quantum information may be transferred between atoms in different locations by using ‘‘phantom’’ or ‘‘dark’’ photons: the atoms are coupled through electromagnetic fields, but the corresponding field modes do not have to be fully populated. In the case where atoms are placed inside optical cavities, errors in quantum information processing due to photon absorption inside the cavity...
