Indirect Detection of Dirac Right-Handed Neutrino Dark Matter

چکیده
We present the signatures and prospects for the indirect detection of a Dirac righthanded neutrino dark matter candidate in neutrino telescopes, cosmic positron experiments and gamma-ray telescopes. An example of such a dark matter candidate can be found in extra-dimensional models. In some constructions, Kaluza–Klein states with the gauge quantum numbers of a right-handed neutrino can have sizable gauge interactions with Standard Model particles. For instance, in 5D warped Grand Unified Theories, it has been shown that a Kaluza–Klein right-handed neutrino may be stable and otherwise a phenomenologically viable dark matter candidate. We find that the prospects for the indirect detection of such a WIMP are encouraging, particularly for neutrino telescopes and cosmic positron experiments.

Right-Handed Sneutrino as Cold Dark Matter
We consider supersymmetric models with right-handed neutrinos where neutrino masses are purely Dirac-type. In this model, right-handed sneutrino can be the lightest supersymmetric particle and can be a viable candidate of cold dark matter of the universe. Right-handed sneutrinos are never thermalized in the early universe because of weakness of Yukawa interaction, but are effectively produced b...
متن کاملBaryogenesis via left-right asymmetry generation by Affleck-Dine mechanism in Dirac neutrino model
A baryogenesis scenario in supersymmetric standard models with Dirac neutrinos proposed by Abel and Page is reconsidered with introducing intermediate scale physics to stabilize the runaway potential along a right-handed sneutrino direction. In contrary with previous results, the baryon number asymmetry can be explained even for higher reheating temperature without entropy production if the lig...
متن کاملNon-thermal right-handed sneutrino dark matter and the ΩDM/Ωb problem
We argue that the superpartner of the Dirac right-handed neutrino is a prime candidate for dark matter created from a ’mattergenesis’ mechanism. We show that due to the smallness of the Yukawa couplings, a right-handed sneutrino density created in the early Universe would not be erased by annihilations, which remain out of thermal equilibrium. It would also not be drowned by a later, additional...

متن کاملSmall Neutrino Masses from Supersymmetry Breaking
An alternative to the conventional see-saw mechanism is proposed to explain the origin of small neutrino masses in supersymmetric theories. The masses and couplings of the right-handed neutrino field are suppressed by supersymmetry breaking, in a way similar to the suppression of the Higgs doublet mass, μ. New mechanisms for light Majorana, Dirac and sterile neutrinos occur, depending on the de...
