Investigating pseudoscalar and scalar dark matter
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper another class of Dark Matter candidate particles: the pseu-doscalar and scalar light bosonic candidates, is discussed. Particular care is devoted to the study of the processes for their detection (which only involves electrons and photons/X-rays) in a suitable underground experimental setup. For this purpose the needed calculations are developed and various related aspects and phenomenologies are discussed. In particular, it is shown that – in addition to the WIMP cases already discussed elsewhere – there is also possibility for a bosonic candidate to account for the 6.3 σ C.L. model independent evidence for the presence of a particle DM component in the galactic halo observed by DAMA/NaI. Allowed regions in these scenarios are presented also paying particular care on the cosmological interest of the bosonic candidate.

Singlet scalar dark matter in noncommutative space
In this paper, we examine the singlet scalar dark matter annihilation to becoming the Standard Model particles in the non-commutative space. In the recent decades, many candidates of dark matter have been offered, but our information about the nature of dark matter is still limited. There are such particle candidates as scalar matetr, fermion, boson, gauge boson, etc.; however, they have nei...
متن کاملConstraining Dark Matter Interactions with Pseudoscalar and Scalar Mediators Using Collider Searches for Multijets plus Missing Transverse Energy.
The monojet search, looking for events involving missing transverse energy (E_{T}) plus one or two jets, is the most prominent collider dark matter search. We show that multijet searches, which look for E_{T} plus two or more jets, are significantly more sensitive than the monojet search for pseudoscalar- and scalar-mediated interactions. We demonstrate this in the context of a simplified model...
متن کاملAsymmetric Dark Matter
We consider a simple class of models in which the relic density of dark matter is determined by the baryon asymmetry of the universe. In these models a B−L asymmetry generated at high temperatures is transfered to the dark matter, which is charged under B − L. The interactions that transfer the asymmetry decouple at temperatures above the dark matter mass, freezing in a dark matter asymmetry of...
متن کاملOn a Light Spinless Particle Coupled to Photons
A pseudoscalar or scalar particle φ that couples to two photons but not to leptons, quarks and nucleons would have effects in most of the experiments searching for axions, since these are based on the aγγ coupling. We examine the laboratory, astrophysical and cosmological constraints on φ and study whether it may constitute a substantial part of the dark matter. We also generalize the φ interac...
متن کاملPhenomenological Aspects of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model
The motivations for the NMSSM are reviewed, and possible unconventional signals for Higgs and sparticle production at the LHC are discussed. In the presence of a light pseudoscalar, the SM-like Higgs scalar can decay dominantly into a 4-tau final state. In the fully constrained NMSSM with mSUGRA-like soft SUSY breaking terms, the correct dark matter relic density is obtained for a singlino-like...
