论文摘要
间接搜索暗物质(DM)通常应用于DM歼灭或腐烂的产物。但是,如果DM夫妇照亮强力载体,则可以通过耗散能量的能量来捕获结合的状态,以产生可检测的信号。我们将间接搜索扩展到DM结合状态的形成和界水平之间的过渡,并约束不稳定的深色光子的发射。我们的结果显着完善了在实验中可以观察到的预测信号通量。作为一个具体的例子,我们使用费米 - 拉特矮人球体观测值,以根据深色光子质量和能量来获得约束,我们用来搜索稳定或不稳定的结合状态的形成。
Indirect searches for dark matter (DM) have conventionally been applied to the products of DM annihilation or decay. If DM couples to light force carriers, however, it can be captured into bound states via dissipation of energy that may yield detectable signals. We extend the indirect searches to DM bound state formation and transitions between bound levels, and constrain the emission of unstable dark photons. Our results significantly refine the predicted signal flux that could be observed in experiments. As a concrete example, we use Fermi-LAT dwarf spheroidal observations to obtain constraints in terms of the dark photon mass and energy which we use to search for the formation of stable or unstable bound states.
