Dipole moment bounds on dark matter annihilation

Abstract: We consider constraints on simplified models in which scalar dark matter annihilates to light charged leptons through the exchange of charged mediators. We find that loop diagrams will contribute corrections to the magnetic and electric dipole moments of the light charged leptons, and experimental constraints on these corrections place significant bounds on the dark matter annihilation cross section. In particular, annihilation to electrons with an observable cross section would be ruled out, while annihilatio… Show more

“…Similar observation was made for the hot QCD equations of state in Ref. [55], where the authors applied the Gribov-Zwanziger gluon propagators. We also expect that the insensitivity to α s should significantly stabilize our analyses of various quantities at finite density.…”

“…At finite temperature, the situation is less clear. Although many interesting works apply the Gribov-Zwanziger approach to thermal scenarios [41][42][43][44][45][46], they all rely on the implicit assumption that the output of the Gribov-Zwanziger construction in such cases is given by the zero temperature Gribov-Zwanziger action taken over a compact (imaginary) time interval of length β = 1/T . Although natural, this assumption is far from obvious.…”
