Constraints on Asymmetric Dark Matter Self Annihilation Cross Sections

Le résumé fourni par la source

We investigate the evolution of the relic density for asymmetric dark matter incorporating self annihilation processes in both the shear-dominated universe and Gauss-Bonnet braneworld. Under the same conditions where the ratio of final asymmetry to the initial asymmetry $ R \equiv Δ_{-\infty}/Δ_{\text{in}} $ is identical, the shear-dominated universe, due to its enhanced Hubble expansion rate, leads to an earlier freeze-out point of wash-out asymmetry process and allows a higher upper limit on the self annihilation cross section. Conversely, the Gauss-Bonnet braneworld, with a weakened Hubble expansion rate, delays the freeze-out point and permits a lower upper limit on the self annihilation cross section. We further constrain the wino mass $M_2$ for sneutrino and higgsino asymmetric dark matter in both scenarios, showing that, compared to the standard model, the lower limit of $M_2$ is smaller in the shear-dominated universe but higher in the Gauss-Bonnet braneworld.
