Interpretations of the possible 42.7 GeV γγ-ray line

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

Recently Liang et al. found a tentative line signal at about 43 GeV in the directions of sixteen nearby Galaxy Clusters. If arising from dark matter annihilation, the mass of the dark matter particles should be mχ∼43m_χ\sim 43 GeV and the annihilation cross section ⟨σv⟩∼5×10−28(BF‾/103)−1 cm3 s−1\langle σv \rangle \sim 5\times10^{-28}(\overline{\rm BF}/10^{3})^{-1}~{\rm cm^3~s^{-1}} is needed, where BF‾\overline{\rm BF} is the averaged boost factor of the annihilation signal of these Galaxy Clusters. In this work we discuss several models which could interpret these features and estimate the model parameters. Usually sizeable coupling parameter is needed. The 2σ2σ upper limits on the cross section of the dark matter annihilation into various final states such as bbˉb\bar{b}, μ+μ−μ^+μ^- and so on are also presented.
