Abstract:Confining gauge dynamics in a dark sector is promising to provide dark matter with a mass in the range of sub-GeV to GeV. Such dark sectors consist of composite particles such as dark baryons and dark mesons, that are neutral under the standard-model charge. A dark photon is introduced as a portal matter between the dark sector and the standard-model sector to alleviate cosmological problems (e.g., to maintain kinetic equilibrium between two sectors or to reduce the light dark-sector particles contributing to … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
