CMB Signature of Self-interacting Dark Matter
摘要
We propose a \(U(1)_D\) gauge symmetry framework supporting SIDM candidates interacting via a light mediator, leading to suppressed thermal relic abundance. To achieve the correct DM density, we consider non-thermal production from a long-lived scalar decay, which also generates dark radiation (DR) that may be tested by future CMB experiments. Additionally, the \( U(1)_D\) gauge boson, through kinetic mixing and dominant axial-vector coupling, may explain the electron \((g-2)\) anomaly.
