Constraint on Cosmic Density of the String Moduli Field in Gauge-Mediated Supersymmetry-Breaking Theories
read the original abstract
We derive a constraint on the cosmic density of string moduli fields in gauge-mediated supersymmetry-breaking theories by requiring that photons emitted from the unstable moduli fields should not exceed the observed X-ray backgrounds. Since mass of the moduli field lies in the range between $O(0.1)$keV and $O(1)$MeV and the decay occurs through a gravitational interaction, the lifetime of the moduli field is much longer than the age of the present universe. The obtained upperbound on their cosmic density becomes more stringent than that from the unclosure condition for the present universe for the mass greater than about 100keV.

Anisotropy of Cosmic Background Photons from Annihilating/Decaying Dark Matter
A comprehensive formulation is given for the angular power spectrum of photons from dark matter annihilation or decay, stressing that detector energy resolution is essential for accurate evaluation of line photon signals.
