Sub-GeV dark matter particles can annihilate or decay producing e^\pm pairs which upscatter the low-energy photon fields in the Galaxy and generate an X-ray emission (via the Inverse Compton effect). Using X-ray data from XMM-Newton, INTEGRAL, NuSTAR and Suzaku, we derive new constraints on this class of dark matter (DM). For annihilating DM, they are significant for m_DM > 100 MeV, and dominant if DM is p-wave annihilating. For decaying DM, they are the most stringent to date in the range m_DM ~400 MeV - 3 GeV$.

  1. $Z^\prime$ Portal Dark Matter with Observable $\Delta N_{\rm eff}$

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 5.5

    Dirac right-handed neutrinos in a U(1)_{B-L} Z' portal model produce observable ΔN_eff that, together with direct/indirect detection and collider bounds, carves out testable WIMP and FIMP dark-matter regions.

  2. Dark Matter Interpretation of the Super-Kamiokande Antineutrino Excess and Predictions for JUNO

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Interprets Super-Kamiokande antineutrino excess as s-wave annihilating dark matter with mass in the tens of MeV, predicting signals for JUNO.

  3. INTEGRAL, eROSITA and Voyager Constraints on Light Bosonic Dark Matter: ALPs, Dark Photons, Scalars, $B-L$ and $L_{i}-L_{j}$ Vectors

    hep-ph 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

  4. From WIMP to FIMP during reheating: collider vs non-collider probes for p-wave annihilation

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Collider experiments can strongly constrain p-wave-suppressed derivative operators and thereby limit reheating temperature, DM mass, and interaction scale needed to match observed DM abundance during reheating.

  5. Flavor phenomenology of light dark particles

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    Review surveying limits and prospects for flavor-violating decays of light axion-like particles, highlighting complementarity of lab, astro, and cosmo probes up to 10^12 GeV scales.
