Dark-Matter Particles without Weak-Scale Masses or Weak Interactions
Dark-Matter Particles without Weak-Scale Masses or Weak Interactions
We propose that dark matter is composed of particles that naturally have the correct thermal relic density, but have neither weak-scale masses nor weak interactions. These models emerge naturally from gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking, where they elegantly solve the dark-matter problem. The framework accommodates single or multiple component dark matter, dark-matter …
