Abstract

A number of new balloon or space-based γ-ray observatories have been proposed to close a “MeV gap” in sensitivity to γ rays in the MeV–GeV energy band. One aspect of the science case for these instruments is their ability to constrain or discover decaying or annihilating dark matter. In this work, we forecast the sensitivity of these instruments for dark matter annihilation or decay for a range of possible Standard Model final states and compare to existing bounds.

未来MeV伽玛射线望远镜对暗物质的限制

已经提出了一些新的气球或空间γ射线观测站，以弥补对MeV-GeV能段γ射线灵敏度的 "MeV差距"。这些仪器的科学依据之一是它们能够约束或发现衰变或湮灭的暗物质。在这项工作中，我们预测了这些仪器对一系列可能的标准模型终态的暗物质湮灭或衰变的灵敏度，并与现有的边界进行了比较。美国物理学会出版 2025
