Gravity-Mediated Dark Matter at a low reheating temperature

초록

We present a new study on the Gravity-Mediated Dark Matter (GMDM) scenario, where interactions between dark matter (DM) and the Standard Model are mediated by spin-two particles. Expanding on this established framework, we explore a novel regime characterized by a low reheating temperature that offers an alternative to the conventional thermal relic paradigm. This approach opens new possibilities for understanding the dynamics of the dark sector, encompassing both the dark matter particles (fermion, scalar and vector) and the spin-two mediators. Our analysis examines the constraints imposed by the relic abundance of DM, collider experiments, and direct detection searches, spanning a wide mass range for the dark sector, from very light to extremely heavy states. This work opens new possibilities for the phenomenology of GMDM.
