A largely model-independent framework links dark matter annihilation, mediator decays, and semi-annihilation to both thermal freeze-out and present-day gamma-ray, neutrino, and antimatter fluxes, with benchmarks showing how their relative strengths shape observable spectra.
This work sets new upper limits on decay lifetimes and couplings for axion-like particles, dark photons, scalars, and B-L or L_i-L_j vector bosons using 511 keV line, X-ray continuum, and cosmic-ray flux observations.
