abstract

We revisit a cosmological constraint on dark matter decaying into dark radiation at late times. In Enqvist et al. (2015), we mainly focused on the effects of decaying dark matter (DDM) on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and nonlinear matter power spectrum. Extending our previous analysis, here we use N-body simulation to investigate how DDM affects the halo mass function. This allows us to incorporate the cluster counts observed by the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect to study a bound on the lifetime of DDM. We also update the data of CMB and cosmic shear power spectrum with the Planck 2015 results and KiDS450 observations, respectively. From these cosmological observations, we obtain an lower bound on the lifetime $\Gamma^{-1}\ge 175\,$Gyr from the Planck2015 results (CMB+SZ cluster count) combined with the KiDS450 and the recent measurements of the baryon acoustic scale.

  1. Decaying Dark Matter Halo Abundance from a Revised Spherical Collapse Model

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A mass-dependent collapse threshold from a revised spherical collapse model predicts the decaying-dark-matter halo mass function, matching N-body simulations at z≈1 and for mild kicks at z=0.

  2. A frequentist view on the two-body decaying dark matter model

    astro-ph.CO 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  3. Flipped Rotating Axion Non-minimally Coupled to Gravity: Baryogenesis and Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A rotating axion, kicked into motion by a sign flip in its gravitational effective potential during kination, can co-generate baryon asymmetry and dark matter in a Majoron seesaw model.
