A number of new balloon or space-based $\gamma$-ray observatories have been proposed to close a "MeV gap" in sensitivity to $\gamma$ rays in the MeV-GeV energy band. One aspect of the science case for these instruments is their ability to constrain or discover decaying or annihilating dark matter. In this work, we forecast the sensitivity of these instruments for dark matter annihilation or decay for a range of possible Standard Model final states and compare to existing bounds.

  1. Lights, Camera, Axion: Tracing Axions from Supernovae in the Diffuse $\gamma$-ray Sky

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Axions produced in supernovae generate a diffuse gamma-ray signal through conversion in magnetic fields, yielding competitive constraints on the axion-photon coupling from COMPTEL, EGRET, and Fermi-LAT data plus forec...

  2. Probing the Phenomenology of Dark Matter from Decoupled Freeze-Out

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0

    In a scalar-plus-pseudoscalar mediator model, decoupled freeze-out can produce the observed dark matter relic density via s-wave annihilation while evading CMB limits, though indirect-detection and BBN bounds leave on...

  3. Neutrino lines and photon continua from cascade dark matter decay

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    In cascade dark-matter decay, neutrino-line searches can beat gamma-ray limits whenever the intermediate mediator is long-lived enough to suppress the photon flux.

  4. Hunting Sterile Neutrino Dark Matter in the MeV Gap

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Future MeV telescopes are projected to improve existing limits on sterile neutrino dark matter decay rates by several orders of magnitude.

  5. Gamma-Ray Signatures of Thermal Misalignment Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Gamma-ray observations impose an upper bound of order 1 GeV on the mass of a photon-coupled scalar dark matter candidate produced via thermal misalignment.

  6. Constraining light dark matter in vector-scalar portals with COSI and AMEGO-X

    hep-ph 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Projects COSI and AMEGO-X sensitivities to sub-GeV DM in vector-scalar portals, finding COSI leading in some regions beyond CMB limits and AMEGO-X covering most continuum cases.

  7. GeV-scale thermal dark matter from dark photons: tightly constrained, yet allowed

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    In a dark-photon-mediated Dirac fermionic DM model, only narrow resonant regions with small dark-sector coupling allow the candidate to saturate the full relic density while evading current direct and indirect detecti...

  8. Minimal Majoron Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    In the minimal Majoron model the particle can explain all dark matter with mass below about 10 MeV from misalignment or freeze-in, and remains compatible with thermal leptogenesis when misalignment dominates or with m...
