BEC暗物质相变期间的非线性成团

Non-linear clustering during the BEC dark matter phase transition

Rodolfo C. de Freitas, Hermano Velten

摘要:

在Thomas Fermi近似下研究了玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚体(BEC)暗物质模型的球坍缩。计算了两种情况下塌陷区的密度演化及其膨胀率。我们考虑的情况下,一个尖锐的相变(当达到临界温度时发生)从正常的暗物质状态的冷凝物和一个光滑的一阶相变的情况下,有一个连续的转换“正常”的暗物质的BEC阶段。我们提出了一个广泛的模型的空间参数,即标量粒子的质量$m_χ$和散射长度$l_s$的崩溃的物理数值结果。给出了跃迁红移对$m_χ$和$l_s$的依赖关系。由于小尺度坍缩较早,并最终在BEC相变之前,在这个极限下坍缩晕的演化在CDM和BEC模型中确实是相同的。预计差异只会出现在最大的天体物理尺度上。然而,我们认为,BEC模型几乎是无法区分的,从通常的暗物质的情况下,关于演化的非线性扰动以上的典型集群规模,即,$\gtrsim 10^{14}M_{\odot}$。这为最近的宇宙学数值模拟结果[H.- Y. Schive { \it等人},Nature Physics,{ \bf 10},496(2014)]。

英文摘要:

Spherical collapse of the Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) dark matter model is studied in the Thomas Fermi approximation. The evolution of the overdensity of the collapsed region and its expansion rate are calculated for two scenarios. We consider the case of a sharp phase transition (which happens when the critical temperature is reached) from the normal dark matter state to the condensate one and the case of a smooth first order phase transition where there is a continuous conversion of "normal" dark matter to the BEC phase. We present numerical results for the physics of the collapse for a wide range of the model's space parameter, i.e. the mass of the scalar particle $m_χ$ and the scattering length $l_s$. We show the dependence of the transition redshift on $m_χ$ and $l_s$. Since small scales collapse earlier and eventually before the BEC phase transition the evolution of collapsing halos in this limit is indeed the same in both the CDM and the BEC models. Differences are expected to appear only on the largest astrophysical scales. However, we argue that the BEC model is almost indistinguishable from the usual dark matter scenario concerning the evolution of nonlinear perturbations above typical clusters scales, i.e., $\gtrsim 10^{14}M_{\odot}$. This provides an analytical confirmation for recent results from cosmological numerical simulations [H.-Y. Schive {\it et al.}, Nature Physics, {\bf10}, 496 (2014)].
