SHM $^{++}$:用盖亚香肠对暗物质的标准晕模型的改进

SHM$^{++}$: A Refinement of the Standard Halo Model for Dark Matter Searches in Light of the Gaia Sausage

N. Wyn Evans, Ciaran A. J. O'Hare, Christopher McCabe

摘要:

在直接探测暗物质(DM)的实验中预测信号需要一种局部DM速度分布的形式。Hierarchy,标准晕模型(SHM),其中速度是各向同性的,并遵循截断高斯定律,已经完成了这项工作。然而,新的数据表明,我们的恒星晕的很大一部分位于一个强烈的径向各向异性的人口,“盖亚香肠”。受最近这一发现的启发,我们引入了一个更新的DM晕模型,SHM $^{++}$,其中包括一个“香肠”组件,从而更好地描述了我们银河系的已知特征。SHM $^{++}$是一个简单的分析模型,有五个参数:循环速度,局部逃逸速度和局部DM密度,我们更新,以符合最新的数据,和两个新的参数:各向异性和密度的DM在香肠。SHM $^{++}$对WIMP和轴子的信号模型的影响是相当温和的,因为多次更改和更新具有竞争效应。最大的变化发生在对全三维速度分布敏感的定向探测器上。

英文摘要:

Predicting signals in experiments to directly detect dark matter (DM) requires a form for the local DM velocity distribution. Hitherto, the standard halo model (SHM), in which velocities are isotropic and follow a truncated Gaussian law, has performed this job. New data, however, suggest that a substantial fraction of our stellar halo lies in a strongly radially anisotropic population, the 'Gaia Sausage'. Inspired by this recent discovery, we introduce an updated DM halo model, the SHM$^{++}$, which includes a `Sausage' component, thus better describing the known features of our galaxy. The SHM$^{++}$ is a simple analytic model with five parameters: the circular speed, local escape speed and local DM density, which we update to be consistent with the latest data, and two new parameters: the anisotropy and the density of DM in the Sausage. The impact of the SHM$^{++}$ on signal models for WIMPs and axions is rather modest since the multiple changes and updates have competing effects. The largest change occurs for directional detectors which have sensitivity to the full three-dimensional velocity distribution.
