Abstract

We present a fit to observational data in an asymmetric self-interacting dark matter model using our recently calculated cross sections that incorporate both tt-channel and uu-channel exchanges in the scattering of identical particles. We find good fits to the data ranging from dwarf galaxies to galaxy clusters, and equivalent relative velocities from 20\sim 20 km/sec to 103\gtrsim 10^3 km/s. We compare our results with previous fits that used only tt-channel exchange contributions to the scattering.
