Dark matter with a late decaying dark partner
We explain the PAMELA positron excess and the PPB-BETS/ATIC e+e data using a simple two component dark sector model (2CDS). The two particle species in the dark matter sector are assumed to be in thermal equilibrium in the early universe. While one particle is stable and is the present day dark matter, the second one is metastable and decays after the universe is 10 s old. In this model it is s...
متن کاملExtragalactic Inverse Compton Light from Dark Matter Annihilation and the Pamela Positron Excess
We calculate the extragalactic diffuse emission originating from the upscattering of cosmic microwave photons by energetic electrons and positrons produced in particle dark matter annihilation events at all redshifts and in all halos. We outline the observational constraints on this emission and we study its dependence on both the particle dark matter model (including the particle mass and its ...
متن کاملSynchrotron Radiation from the Galactic Center in Decaying Dark Matter Scenario
We discuss the synchrotron radiation flux from the Galactic center in unstable dark matter scenario. Motivated by the anomalous excess of the positron fraction recently reported by the PAMELA collaboration, we consider the case that the dark matter particle is unstable (and long-lived), and that energetic electron and positron are produced by the decay of dark matter. Then, the emitted e± becom...
متن کاملStatus of indirect searches in the PAMELA and Fermi era
The detection of γ-rays, antiprotons and positrons due to pair annihilation of dark matter particles in the Milky Way halo is a viable indirect technique to search for signatures of supersymmetric dark matter where the major challenge is the discrimination of the signal from the background generated by standard production mechanisms. The new PAMELA antiproton data are consistent with the standa...
متن کاملIndirect Dark Matter Signals from EGRET and PAMELA compared
Dark Matter annihilation (DMA) may yield an excess of gamma rays and antimatter particles, like antiprotons and positrons, above the background from cosmic ray interactions. The excess of diffuse Galactic Gamma Rays from EGRET shows all the features expected from DMA. The new precise measurements of the antiproton and positron fractions from PAMELA are compared with the EGRET excess. It is show...
