Bosonic super-WIMPs as keV-scale dark matter
Open accessAbstract
We consider models of light superweakly interacting cold dark matter, with $\mathcal{O}(10--100)\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{keV}$ mass, focusing on bosonic candidates such as pseudoscalars and vectors. We analyze the cosmological abundance, the $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ background created by particle decays, the impact on stellar processes due to cooling, and the direct-detection capabilities in order to identify classes of models that pass all the constraints. In certain models, variants of photoelectric (or axioelectric) absorption of dark matter in direct-detection experiments can provide a sensitivity to the superweak couplings to the standard model which is superior to all existing indirect constraints. In all models studied, the annual modulation of the direct-detection signal is at the currently unobservable level of $O({10}^{\ensuremath{-}5})$.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
