A frequentist reanalysis of Planck and KiDS-1000 data shows that a two-body decaying dark matter model can produce S8 values consistent with weak lensing surveys, and that prior choices dominated earlier Bayesian exclusions.

abstract
The collisionless cold dark matter (CCDM) model predicts overly dense cores in dark matter halos and overly abundant subhalos. We show that the idea that CDM are decaying superheavy particles which produce ultra-high energy cosmic rays with energies beyond the Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin cutoff may simultaneously solve the problem of subgalactic structure formation in CCDM model. In particular, the Kuzmin-Rubakov's decaying superheavy CDM model may give an explanation to the smallness of the cosmological constant and a new thought to the CDM experimental search.

A frequentist view on the two-body decaying dark matter model
A frequentist reanalysis of Planck and KiDS-1000 data shows that a two-body decaying dark matter model can produce S8 values consistent with weak lensing surveys, and that prior choices dominated earlier Bayesian exclusions.
