在1-20 MeV的扩散宇宙伽马射线:暗物质的痕迹?

Diffuse cosmic gamma-rays at 1-20 MeV: A trace of the dark matter?

Kyle Lawson, Ariel R. Zhitnitsky

摘要:

对银河系核心的几次独立观测表明了迄今无法解释的能量来源。最著名的例子是511 keV的谱线,它已经被证明很难用传统的天体物理正电子源来解释。一个类似但不太为人所知的谜团是COMPTEL在1-20 MeV的宽能量范围内探测到的过量伽马射线光子。这样的光子很难通过已知的天体物理来源产生。在这项工作中,我们表明,暗物质的形式,密集的反物质液滴提供了一个自然的解释,在1-20兆电子伏范围内观测到的伽马射线通量。我们认为,这样的光子必须始终伴随着511 keV线,因为它们在我们的框架内由相同的机制产生。我们计算了1-20 MeV γ射线的能谱和强度,发现与COMPTEL数据一致。

英文摘要:

Several independent observations of the galactic core suggest hitherto unexplained sources of energy. The most well known case is the 511 keV line which has proven very difficult to explain with conventional astrophysical positron sources. A similar, but less well known mystery is the excess of gamma-ray photons detected by COMPTEL across a broad energy range 1-20 MeV. Such photons are found to be very difficult to produce via known astrophysical sources. We show in this work that dark matter in the form of dense antimatter droplets provides a natural explanations for the observed flux of gamma-rays in the 1-20 MeV range. We argue thatsuch photons must always accompany the 511 keV line as they produced by the same mechanism within our framework. We calculate the spectrum and intensity of the 1-20 MeV gamma-rays, and find it to be consistent with the COMPTEL data.
