TL;DR
This paper proposes a dark matter model that simultaneously explains the INTEGRAL 511 keV gamma-ray line and the tentative 135 GeV gamma-ray line from Fermi-LAT, involving complex scalar mediators and charged particles with distinct masses.
Contribution
The model introduces a novel mechanism linking two gamma-ray signals via a complex scalar and predicts specific charged particle masses testable at the LHC.
Findings
Predicts a long-lived charged particle around 3.8 TeV
Suggests a lighter charged particle below 1 TeV
Main parameter space testable at 14 TeV LHC
Abstract
Both the robust INTEGRAL 511 keV gamma-ray line and the recent tentative hint of the 135 GeV gamma-ray line from Fermi-LAT have similar signal morphologies, and may be produced from the same dark matter annihilation. Motivated by this observation, we construct a dark matter model to explain both signals and to accommodate the two required annihilation cross sections that are different by more than six orders of magnitude. In our model, to generate the low-energy positrons for INTEGRAL, dark matter particles annihilate into a complex scalar that couples to photon via a charge-radius operator. The complex scalar contains an excited state decaying into the ground state plus an off-shell photon to generate a pair of positron and electron. Two charged particles with non-degenerate masses are necessary for generating this charge-radius operator. One charged particle is predicted to be…
