Abstract

Assuming a dark matter fraction ΩDM=0.27\Omega_{DM} = 0.27 and a reduced Hubble constant h=0.73h = 0.73, we obtain a value of 70 GeV/c2^2 for the mass of the dark matter WIMP we have previously proposed. We also obtain a value for the annihilation cross section given by σannv=1.19×1026\langle \sigma_{ann} v \rangle = 1.19 \times 10^{-26} cm3^3/s in the present universe, consistent with the current limits for dwarf spheroidal galaxies. Both the mass and cross-section are consistent with analyses of the Galactic-center gamma rays observed by Fermi-LAT and the antiprotons observed by AMS-02 if these data are interpreted as resulting from dark matter annihilation. The spin-independent cross-section for direct detection in Xe-based experiments is estimated to be slightly above 104810^{-48} cm2^2, presumably just within reach of the LZ and XENONnT experiments with 1000\gtrsim 1000 days of data taking. The cross-section for production in high-energy proton collisions via vector boson fusion is estimated to be 1\sim 1 femtobarn, possibly within reach of the high-luminosity LHC, with 140\ge 140 GeV of missing energy accompanied by two jets.
