abstract

The relic abundance of particle and antiparticle dark matter (DM) need not be vastly different in thermal asymmetric dark matter (ADM) models. By considering the effect of a primordial asymmetry on the thermal Boltzmann evolution of coupled DM and anti-DM, we derive the requisite annihilation cross section. This is used in conjunction with CMB and Fermi-LAT gamma-ray data to impose a limit on the number density of anti-DM particles surviving thermal freeze-out. When the extended gamma-ray emission from the Galactic Center is reanalyzed in a thermal ADM framework, we find that annihilation into $\tau$ leptons prefer anti-DM number densities 1-4$\%$ that of DM while the $b$-quark channel prefers 50-100$\%$.

  1. Asymmetric dark matter from semi-annihilation: unitarity constraints and long-lived final states

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A published asymmetric dark matter mechanism from semi-annihilation is shown to violate unitarity; a corrected two-species model with long-lived final states can produce the observed relic density.
