摘要:

重子和毫荷电暗物质之间的热传递被认为是EDGES观测到的21厘米吸收信号异常的可能解释。先前的工作已经表明,该解决方案要求毫荷电粒子仅构成暗物质的一部分$(m_χ/{\rm MeV})\ 0.0115\% \lesssim f \lesssim 0.4\%$,并且它们的质量$m_χ$和电荷$q_χ$具有值$0.1 \lesssim (m_χ/{\rm MeV})\lesssim 10$和$10^{-6} \lesssim (q_χ/e)\lesssim 10^{-4}$。在这里,我们表明,这些粒子在复合之前进入化学平衡,因此受到相对论自由度的有效数$N_{\rm eff}$的约束,我们使用普朗克2018年的数据进行更新。此外,我们确定了精确的遗迹丰度$f$,结果为一个给定的质量$m_χ$和电荷$q_χ$,并将此丰度的限制,毫荷电暗物质解决方案的边缘。有了这两个结果,如果遗迹丰度是由冻结决定的,那么解决方案就被排除了。

英文摘要:

Heat transfer between baryons and millicharged dark matter has been invoked as a possible explanation for the anomalous 21-cm absorption signal seen by EDGES. Prior work has shown that the solution requires that millicharged particles make up only a fraction $(m_χ/{\rm MeV})\ 0.0115\% \lesssim f \lesssim 0.4\%$ of the dark matter and that their mass $m_χ$ and charge $q_χ$ have values $0.1 \lesssim (m_χ/{\rm MeV})\lesssim 10$ and $10^{-6} \lesssim (q_χ/e)\lesssim 10^{-4}$. Here we show that such particles come into chemical equilibrium before recombination, and so are subject to a constraint on the effective number $N_{\rm eff}$ of relativistic degrees of freedom, which we update using Planck 2018 data. We moreover determine the precise relic abundance $f$ that results for a given mass $m_χ$ and charge $q_χ$ and incorporate this abundance into the constraints on the millicharged-dark-matter solution to EDGES. With these two results, the solution is ruled out if the relic abundance is set by freeze-out.
