Confronting Dirac Fermionic Dark Matter with Recent Data
Abstract
We study Dirac fermionic dark matter (DM, ) and confront it with recent data. To evade the stringent direct search limits from PandaX-II, XENON1T and LUX experiments, the quantum numbers of the Dirac DM are taken to be to remove the tree-level -exchange diagram. Loop amplitudes can contribute to the elastic scattering cross section. We find that there are cancellations in the one-loop diagrams, which largely reduce the cross section and make the Dirac DM viable in the direct search. For a generic isospin , we survey the Dirac DM mass constrained by the latest results of PandaX-II, XENON1T and LUX experiments, the observed DM relic density, and the H.E.S.S. and the Fermi-LAT astrophysical observations. Sommerfeld enhancement effects on DM annihilation processes are investigated. We find that the cross section of annihilating to the standard model (SM) gauge bosons are in general significantly enhanced, and the Fermi-LAT, the H.E.S.S. upper limits on and the observed relic density become serious constraints on the Dirac DM mass. The cases are ruled out and for , the lower bound on Dirac DM mass are forced to be 60 TeV. The elastic scattering cross section for of few tens TeV with a generic is found to be ~cm. The predicted and are sizable and they will be useful to search for DM in astrophysical observation and in direct search in near future.
