چکیده

A dilaton could be the dominant messenger between standard model fields and dark matter. The measured dark matter relic abundance relates the dark matter mass and spin to the conformal breaking scale. The dark matter-nucleon spin-independent cross section is predicted in terms of the dilaton mass. We compute the current constraints on the dilaton from LEP and Tevatron experiments, and the gamma-ray signal from dark matter annihilation to dilatons that could be observed by Fermi Large Area Telescope.

Dilatonic Dark Matter ∗ – A New Paradigm –

We study the possibility that the dilaton plays the role of the dark matter of the universe. We find that the condition for the dilaton to be the dark matter of the universe strongly restricts its mass to be around 0.5 keV or 270 MeV. For the other mass ranges, the dilaton either undercloses or overcloses the universe. The 0.5 keV dilaton has the free-streaming distance of about 1.4 Mpc and bec...

Dark Matter, Time-varying G and the Dilaton

The value of the Jordan-Brans-Dicke coupling parameter ! is at present much more tightly bounded below by radar time delay experiments than it is by the predicted time variation of Newton's constant G. We point out the possibility of having a Jordan-Brans-Dicke-type scalar (i.e. a scale-free massless scalar eld or \dilaton") couple with diierent strengths to visible and to conjectured \dark" ma...

We study the possibility that the dilaton – the fundamental scalar field which exists in all the existing unified field theories – plays the role of the dark matter of the universe. We find that the condition for the dilaton to be the dark matter strongly restricts its mass to be around 0.5 keV or 270 MeV. For the other mass ranges, the dilaton either undercloses or overcloses the universe. The...

The dilaton as a candidate for dark matter

We examine consequences of the stabilization of the dilaton through the axion. An estimate of the resulting dilaton potential yields a relation between the axion parameter mafPQ and the average instanton radius, and predicts the ratio between the dilaton mass mφ and the axion mass ma. If we identify the string axion with a Peccei–Quinn axion, thenmφmP l ∼ mafPQ, and the dilaton should be strong...

Quintessence as a runaway dilaton

We consider a late-time cosmological model based on a recent proposal that the infinite-bare-coupling limit of superstring/M-theory exists and has good phenomenological properties, including a vanishing cosmological constant, and a massless, decoupled dilaton. As it runs away to +∞, the dilaton can play the role of the quintessence field recently advocated to drive the late-time accelerated exp...
