Indirect Searches for Kaluza-klein Dark Matter∗

چکیده
In this talk, we discuss the potential for the indirect detection of Kaluza-Klein dark matter using neutrino telescopes and cosmic positron experiments. We find that future kilometer-scale neutrino telescopes, such as IceCube, as well as future experiments capable of measuring the cosmic positron spectrum, such as PAMELA and AMS-02, will be quite sensitive to this scenario. Current data from the HEAT experiment can also be explained by the presence of Kaluza-Klein dark matter in the Galactic halo.

Indirect Detection of Dirac Right-Handed Neutrino Dark Matter
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 siz...
متن کاملIndirect Detection of Kaluza–Klein Dark Matter from Latticized Universal Dimensions
We consider Kaluza–Klein dark matter from latticized universal dimensions. We motivate and investigate two different lattice models, where the models differ in the choice of boundary conditions. The models reproduce relevant features of the continuum model for Kaluza– Klein dark matter. For the model with simple boundary conditions, this is the case even for a model with only a few lattice site...
متن کاملKaluza-Klein dark matter.
We propose that cold dark matter is made of Kaluza-Klein particles and explore avenues for its detection. The lightest Kaluza-Klein state is an excellent dark matter candidate if standard model particles propagate in extra dimensions and Kaluza-Klein parity is conserved. We consider Kaluza-Klein gauge bosons. In sharp contrast to the case of supersymmetric dark matter, these annihilate to hard ...
متن کاملKaluza–Klein Dark Matter from Deconstructed Universal Extra Dimensions
We consider Kaluza–Klein dark matter from deconstructed or latticized universal extra dimensions and study in this model the positron flux from Kaluza–Klein dark matter annihilation in the galactic halo.
متن کاملSpinless photon dark matter from two universal extra dimensions
We explore the properties of dark matter in theories with two universal extra dimensions, where the lightest Kaluza-Klein state is a spin-0 neutral particle, representing a six-dimensional photon polarized along the extra dimensions. Annihilation of this ‘spinless photon’ proceeds predominantly through Higgs boson exchange, and is largely independent of other Kaluza-Klein particles. The measure...
