Indirect Detection of Little Higgs Dark Matter
نویسندگان
چکیده
Little Higgs models with T parity contain an attractive dark matter candidate, the heavy photon. We compute the cross section of the heavy photon annihilation into Zphoton pairs, which turns out to be substantially higher than the previously computed cross section for the two photon final state. Unfortunately, even with this enhancement, the monochromatic photon flux from galactic heavy photon annihilation is unlikely to be detectable by GLAST or the currently operating atmospheric Cerenkov telescopes. We also compute the flux of high-energy neutrinos from the annihilation of the heavy photons captured by the Sun and the Earth. The maximum flux of upward-going muons due to such neutrinos is about 1 yr−1km−2.

Little Higgs Dark Matter
The introduction of T parity dramatically improves the consistency of Little Higgs models with precision electroweak data, and renders the lightest T-odd particle (LTP) stable. In the Littlest Higgs model with T parity, the LTP is typically the T-odd heavy photon, which is weakly interacting and can play the role of dark matter. We analyze the relic abundance of the heavy photon, including its ...
متن کاملSinglet 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 کاملLight Neutralinos in the NMSSM
Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model neutralino dark matter candidates in the (1 − 15) GeV range are found with a Markov Chain Monte Carlo scanning code. A very light, singlet-like Higgs and/or CP-odd Higgs is needed in order to achieve such light masses. Light scalar Higgses can yield large direct detection cross sections, suitable for an account of the recent claims for signals. Neut...
متن کاملDirect, Indirect and Collider Detection of Neutralino Dark Matter In SUSY Models with Non-universal Higgs Masses
In supersymmetric models with gravity-mediated SUSY breaking, universality of soft SUSY breaking sfermion masses m0 is motivated by the need to suppress unwanted flavor changing processes. The same motivation, however, does not apply to soft breaking Higgs masses, which may in general have independent masses from matter scalars at the GUT scale. We explore phenomenological implications of both ...
متن کاملExtension of Minimal Fermionic Dark Matter Model : A Study with Two Higgs Doublet Model
We explore a fermionic dark matter model with a possible extension of Standard Model (SM) of particle physics into two Higgs doublet model. Higgs doublets couple to the singlet fermionic dark matter (FDM) through a non renormalisable coupling providing a new physics scale. We explore the viability of such dark matter candidate and constrain the model parameter space by collider serach, relic de...
