子结构对局部暗物质搜索的影响

Impact of substructure on local dark matter searches

Alejandro Ibarra, Bradley J. Kavanagh, Andreas Rappelt

摘要:

暗物质子结构对局部暗物质搜索有很大贡献,并可能在解释这些实验时提供很大的不确定性。在直接探测实验中,次晕会在主晕平滑的暗物质分布之上产生额外的暗物质成分。在太阳中捕获的暗物质的情况下,次晕的遭遇暂时增加了捕获粒子的数量。即使这种遭遇发生在过去,与宿主光环的预期相比,太阳捕获的暗物质粒子的数量仍然可以增加,因为这些增强会随着时间的推移而衰减。使用的结果从分析模型的子晕人口的银河系,有效的子晕质量之间的$10^{-5}\,M_\odot$和$10^{11}\,M_\odot$,我们评估子晕直接暗物质搜索的概率的影响。我们发现,直接检测的影响可以是相当大的,与概率$\sim 10^{-3}$找到一个$\mathcal{O}(1)$增强反冲率。在太阳的捕获率的情况下,我们发现$\mathcal{O}(1)$增强是非常不可能的,概率$\lesssim 10^{-5}$,甚至是不可能的一些暗物质质量。

英文摘要:

Dark matter substructure can contribute significantly to local dark matter searches and may provide a large uncertainty in the interpretation of those experiments. For direct detection experiments, sub-halos give rise to an additional dark matter component on top of the smooth dark matter distribution of the host halo. In the case of dark matter capture in the Sun, sub-halo encounters temporarily increase the number of captured particles. Even if the encounter happened in the past, the number of dark matter particles captured by the Sun can still be enhanced today compared to expectations from the host halo as those enhancements decay over time. Using results from an analytical model of the sub-halo population of a Milky Way-like galaxy, valid for sub-halo masses between $10^{-5}\,M_\odot$ and $10^{11}\,M_\odot$, we assess the impact of sub-halos on direct dark matter searches in a probabilistic way. We find that the impact on direct detection can be sizable, with a probability of $\sim 10^{-3}$ to find an $\mathcal{O}(1)$ enhancement of the recoil rate. In the case of the capture rate in the Sun, we find that $\mathcal{O}(1)$ enhancements are very unlikely, with probability $\lesssim 10^{-5}$, and are even impossible for some dark matter masses.
