探测暗物质衰变产生的净光子圆偏振的前景

On the Prospects for Detecting a Net Photon Circular Polarization Produced by Decaying Dark Matter

Andrey Elagin, Jason Kumar, Pearl Sandick, Fei Teng

摘要:

如果暗物质与标准模型粒子的相互作用是$CP$破坏的,那么暗物质湮灭/衰变可以产生具有净圆偏振的光子。我们认为,这种圆偏振的实验检测证据的前景。我们确定的暗物质与标准模型的相互作用的最佳模型,从净偏振的可检测性的角度来看,无论是对称或不对称的暗物质的情况下。我们发现,对于对称的暗物质,净极化的证据可以通过搜索银河系中心的仪器敏感的圆极化与效率加权曝光至少$50000~\text{cm}^2~\text{yr}$,提供系统的检测器的不确定性被限制在$1\%$水平。在非对称暗物质的情况下可以获得更好的灵敏度。我们讨论了使用可能的检测器技术实现所需的性能水平的前景。

英文摘要:

If dark matter interactions with Standard Model particles are $CP$-violating, then dark matter annihilation/decay can produce photons with a net circular polarization. We consider the prospects for experimentally detecting evidence for such a circular polarization. We identify optimal models for dark matter interactions with the Standard Model, from the point of view of detectability of the net polarization, for the case of either symmetric or asymmetric dark matter. We find that, for symmetric dark matter, evidence for net polarization could be found by a search of the Galactic Center by an instrument sensitive to circular polarization with an efficiency-weighted exposure of at least $50000~\text{cm}^2~\text{yr}$, provided the systematic detector uncertainties are constrained at the $1\%$ level. Better sensitivity can be obtained in the case of asymmetric dark matter. We discuss the prospects for achieving the needed level of performance using possible detector technologies.
