Semi-Annihilation of Fermionic Dark Matter
read the original abstract
The continued non-observation of events emanating from dark matter (DM) annihilations in various direct and indirect detection experiments calls into question the mechanism for determining the relic density of a weakly interacting massive particle. However, if the relic density is determined primarily by a semi-annihilation process, as opposed to the usual annihilation, this tension can be ameliorated. Here, we investigate a Z3 symmetric effective field theory incorporating a fermionic dark matter that semi-annihilates to right-handed neutrinos (RHN). The dynamics of the RHN and the impact of its late decays are also scrutinised while obtaining the correct DM relic. Finally, indirect detection bounds on the semi-annihilation cross-sections are drawn from the gamma-ray observations in the direction of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies (Fermi-LAT), and including the projections obtained for the H.E.S.S. and the CTA detectors.

Cosmological signals of dark matter semi-annihilation
Semi-annihilating dark matter in cosmological structures yields a boosted flux that can rival or exceed the galactic signal, and structure formation requires ⟨σ₂→₁v⟩ ≤ 4.2×10⁻¹⁹ (mχ/1 GeV) cm³/s.
