利用MAGIC望远镜在矮椭球星系中联合搜寻branon暗物质湮灭信号

Combined search in dwarf spheroidal galaxies for branon dark matter annihilation signatures with the MAGIC telescopes

MAGIC Collaboration

AI总结:

本文利用MAGIC望远镜对多个矮椭球星系进行354小时观测,搜寻branon暗物质湮灭信号,在亚TeV至多TeV质量范围给出了迄今最强的湮灭截面限制。

摘要:

被称为branon的大质量膜涨落表现为弱相互作用大质量粒子,这是最受青睐的一类候选粒子,可用于承担暗物质(DM)这一超越标准模型的 elusive 物质角色。我们利用地面伽马射线望远镜系统MAGIC,在矮椭球星系中对branon暗物质湮灭特征进行了多目标搜寻,总曝光时间为354小时。该搜寻在亚TeV和多TeV暗物质质量范围内给出了对branon暗物质最具约束力的限制。我们对热平均湮灭截面(95%置信水平)的最严格限制为:在branon质量约为1.5 TeV时,$\langle σv \rangle \simeq 1.9 \times 10^{-24}{\text{cm}^{3}\text{s}^{-1}}$。

英文摘要:

Massive brane fluctuations, called branons, behave as weakly interacting massive particles, which is one of the most favored class of candidates to fulfill the role of the dark matter (DM), an elusive kind of matter beyond the Standard Model. We present a multi-target search in dwarf spheroidal galaxies for branon DM annihilation signatures with a total exposure of 354 hours with the ground-based gamma-ray telescope system MAGIC. This search led to the most constraining limits on branon DM in the sub-TeV and multi-TeV DM mass range. Our most stringent limit on the thermally-averaged annihilation cross-section (at $95\%$ confidence level) corresponds to $ \langle σv \rangle \simeq 1.9 \times 10^{-24}{\text{cm}^{3}\text{s}^{-1}} $ at a branon mass of $ \sim 1.5~\text{TeV}$.
