Hidden-sector dark matter achieves standard thermal relic abundance via early decoupling with temperature-matched freeze-out, enabling WIMP-like cross sections without late-time thermalization.

Cosmic ray protons scattering off dark matter produce the Galactic Center gamma-ray excess through inelastic up-scattering followed by decay or direct elastic 2-to-3 photon production.
Joint prompt and inverse-Compton modeling of MSP-injected e± yields strong upper limits on η_e/η_γ from recent Fermi-LAT GCE spectra that exceed MAGIC globular-cluster bounds.
An optimized Fermi-LAT analysis finds the Galactic Center Excess follows an approximately spherical generalized NFW morphology with inner slope ~1.15, a spectrum peaking at a few GeV, and only upper limits above tens of GeV.
WIMP models for the Galactic Center Excess survive only in finely tuned resonant funnels with portal couplings around 10^-4, with leptophilic vectors and pseudoscalar portals remaining most viable after current bounds.
Updated constraints on two simplified dark matter models for the Galactic Center Excess leave unconstrained parameter space after applying recent multi-experiment data.

A Comprehensive Study of WIMP Models Explaining the Fermi-LAT Galactic Center Excess
WIMP models for the Galactic Center Excess survive only in finely tuned resonant funnels with portal couplings around 10^-4, with leptophilic vectors and pseudoscalar portals remaining most viable after current bounds.
