Consistent scenarios for cosmic-ray excesses from Sommerfeld- enhanced dark matter annihilation
Anomalies in direct and indirect detection have motivated models of dark matter consisting of a multiplet of nearly-degenerate states, coupled by a new GeV-scale interaction. We perform a careful analysis of the thermal freezeout of dark matter annihilation in such a scenario. We compute the range of “boost factors” arising from Sommerfeld enhancement in the local halo for models which produce ...

Abstract. We show how easy it is to get the Sommerfeld enhancement for a Yukawa potential, for definite partial waves, beyond the S wave analyzed in previous literature. In particular, we report results for the P wave (for which there is a resonant pattern and the enhancement can be of several orders of magnitude even far from resonances) that could be relevant for the analysis of experimental ...
متن کاملDark matter self-interactions and light force carriers
Recent observations from PAMELA, FERMI, and ATIC point to a new source of high energy cosmic rays. If these signals are due to annihilating dark matter (DM), the annihilation cross section in the present day must be substantially larger than that necessary for thermal freeze-out in the early universe. A new force, mediated by a particle of mass Oð100 MeVÞ, leading to a velocity-dependent annihi...
متن کاملConstraining the Sommerfeld enhancement with Cherenkov telescope observations of dwarf galaxies
The presence of dark matter in the halo of our galaxy could be revealed through indirect detection of annihilation products. Dark matter annihilation is one of the possible interpretations of the recent measured excesses in positron and electron fluxes, once boost factors of the order of 10 or more are taken into account. Such boost factors are actually achievable through the velocity-dependent...
متن کاملMinimal Dark Matter predictions for galactic positrons, anti-protons, photons
We present the energy spectra of the fluxes of positrons, anti-protons and photons generated by Dark Matter annihilations in our galaxy, as univocally predicted by the model of Minimal Dark Matter. Due to multi-TeV masses and to the Sommerfeld enhancement of the annihilation cross section, distinctive signals can be generated above the background, even with a modest astrophysical boost factor, ...
