نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper I present the detail estimations for the width of the 511 keV line produced by a mechanism when dark matter is represented by macroscopically large dense nuggets. I argue that the width of 511 keV emission in this mechanism is very narrow ( in a few keV range) in agreement with all observations. The dominant mechanism of the annihilation in this case is the positronium formation ee → S0 → 2γ rather than a direct e e → 2γ annihilation. I also discuss some generic features of the γ rays spectrum (in few MeV range) resulting from this mechanism.

The 511 keV emission from the Galactic Bulge observed by INTEGRAL/SPI could be the product of light (1-100 MeV) annihilating dark matter particles. In order to distinguish between annihilating light dark matter scenarios and more conventional astrophysical sources for the bulge emission, we propose to test the light dark matter hypothesis on the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy, a close-by galaxy domin...

The 511 keV photons from the galactic center can be explained by positrons produced through Q-ball decay. In the scheme of gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking, large Q balls with lepton charge are necessarily long-lived. In particular, the lifetime can be as long as (or even longer than) the age of the universe. If kinematically allowed, such large Q balls decay into positrons, which eventual...

We discuss the possibility that the recent detection of 511 keV γ-rays from the galactic bulge, as observed by INTEGRAL, is a consequence of low mass (∼MeV) particle dark matter annihilations. We discuss the type of halo profile favored by the observations as well as the size of the annihilation cross section needed to account for the signal. We find that such a scenario is consistent with the ...
