Constraining Asymmetric Bosonic Non-interacting Dark Matter with Neutron Stars

High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena 2012-04-13 v1

Abstract

The Hawking evaporation of small black holes formed by the collapse of dark matter at the center of neutron stars plays a key role in loosing the constraint on the mass of asymmetric bosonic non-interacting dark matter particles. Different from previous works we show that such a kind of dark matter is viable in the mass range from 3.3 GeV to ~ 10 TeV, which covers the most attractive regions, including the preferred asymmetric dark matter mass ~ 5.7 GeV as well as the 5-15 GeV range favored by DAMA and CoGeNT.
