三体末态对暗物质湮灭的巨大贡献

Large contributions to dark matter annihilation from three-body final states

Carlos E. Yaguna

摘要:

暗物质粒子的湮灭率在暗物质研究中起着至关重要的作用,因为它决定了暗物质的遗迹密度和间接探测信号。在本文中,我们表明,这个湮灭率可以收到大的额外贡献,从三体末态组成的一个真正的和一个虚拟的质量粒子,如WW*(Wf \bar f ')和t \bar t*(tW \bar b)。我们考虑两个具体的例子,从单重态模型和MSSM,并发现,由于新的三体末态的贡献,预测的遗迹密度可能会减少一个以上的因素2,而目前的暗物质湮灭率得到提高了两个数量级。一些这些结果的影响进行了简要讨论。

英文摘要:

The annihilation rate of dark matter particles plays a crucial role in dark matter studies, for it determines their relic density and their indirect detection signal. In this paper, we show that this annihilation rate can receive large additional contributions from three-body final states consisting of a real and a virtual massive particle, such as WW* (Wf \bar f') and t \bar t* (tW\bar b). We consider two specific examples, from the singlet model and the MSSM, and find that, due to the new three-body final state contributions, the prediction for the relic density may decrease by more than a factor two, whereas the present dark matter annihilation rate gets enhanced by up to two orders of magnitude. Some of the implications of these results are briefly discussed.
