A 750 GeV dark matter messenger at the Galactic Center
Abstract
The first data from the LHC Run-2 have shown a possible excess in diphoton events with invariant mass GeV, suggesting the existence of a new resonance which may decay dominantly into dark matter (DM) particles. We show in a simple model that the reported diphoton excess at the LHC is consistent with another photon excess, the GeV excess in cosmic gamma-ray fluxes towards the Galactic Center observed by the Fermi-LAT. Both the excesses can be simultaneously explained by a GeV scalar DM particle annihilating dominantly into two gluons with a typical thermal annihilation cross section, which leads to the prediction of a large width to mass ratio of the resonance. The upper limit on the dijet search at LHC Run-1 leads to a limit on the predicted cross section for DM annihilating into final states . Both the predictions can be tested by the LHC, Fermi-LAT and future experiments.
