Abstract
The recent unidentified 3.5 keV X-ray line signal can be explained by decaying moduli dark matter with a cutoff scale one order of magnitude smaller than the Planck scale. We show that such modulus field with the low cutoff scale follows a time-dependent potential minimum and its abundance is reduced by the adiabatic suppression mechanism. As a result the modulus abundance can naturally be consistent with the observed dark matter abundance without any fine-tuning of the initial oscillation amplitude.
