Galactic Center Gamma Ray Excess and Higgs Boson(s)

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-06-03 v1

Abstract

There is evidence for an excess of gamma rays with O(GeV)O({\rm GeV}) energy coming from the Galactic Center in data from the Fermi Telescope. The spectrum of the excess is well fit by 30 GeV dark matter annihilating into a pair of bb quarks with a cross section expected from a thermal relic. For an explanation of this excess, we study a renormalizable model where dark matter couples to the SM via a pseudoscalar that mixes with the CPCP-odd Higgs boson of a Two HIggs Doublet Model. We report the constraints on this model from direct detection, Higgs decays, and rare BB meson decays.
