Intergalactic medium heating by dark matter
We derive the evolution of the energy deposition in the intergalactic medium (IGM) by dark matter (DM) decays/annihilations for both sterile neutrinos and light dark matter (LDM) particles. At z > 200 sterile neutrinos transfer a fraction fabs ∼ 0.5 of their rest mass energy into the IGM; at lower redshifts this fraction becomes < ∼ 0.3 depending on the particle mass. The LDM particles can deca...
متن کاملSelf-Interacting Dark Matter
Spergel and Steinhardt have recently proposed the concept of dark matter with strong self-interactions as a means to address numerous discrepancies between observations of dark matter halos on subgalactic scales and the predictions of the standard collisionless dark matter picture. We review the motivations for this scenario and discuss some recent, successful numerical tests. We also discuss t...
متن کاملMirror Matter as Self Interacting Dark Matter
It has been argued that the observed core density profile of galaxies is inconsistent with having a dark matter particle that is collisionless and alternative dark matter candidates which are self interacting may explain observations better. One new class of self interacting dark matter that has been proposed in the context mirror universe models of particle physics is the mirror hydrogen atom ...
متن کاملHeating in Brane Inflation and Hidden Dark Matter
Towards the end of brane inflation, the brane pair annihilation produces massive closed strings. The transfer of this energy to Standard Model (SM) open string modes depends on where the SM branes and the brane annihilation are located: in the bulk, in the same throat or in different throats. We find that, in all cases as long as the brane annihilation and the SM branes are not both in the bulk...
