    On the offset of the DM cusp and the interpretation of the 130 GeV line as a DM signal

    Full text link
    We show that the cusp in the dark matter (DM) distribution required to explain the recently found excess in the gamma-ray spectrum at energies ~130 GeV in terms of the DM annihilations cannot survive the tidal forces if it is offset by ~1.5^\circ from the Galactic centre as suggested by observations.Comment: 3 pages, replaced with journal versio

    On sgoldstino interpretation of HyperCP events

    Full text link
    We discuss possible sgoldstino interpretation of the observation, reported by HyperCP collaboration, of three Σ+pμ+μ\Sigma^+\to p\mu^+\mu^- decay events with dimuon invariant mass 214.3 MeV within detector resolution. We find that this interpretation is consistent in models with (i) parity conservation in sgoldstino interactions, (ii) pseudoscalar sgoldstino PP of mass 214 MeV and heavier scalar sgoldstino, and (iii) low supersymmetry breaking scale, \sqrt{F} = 2.5-60 TeV. In these models, sgoldstino can be observed in decays K+π+π0PK^+\to\pi^+\pi^0 P, KLππPK_L\to\pi\pi P and KSππPK_S\to\pi\pi P at the branching ratios of at least of order 10^{-12}, 10^{-8} and 10^{-11}, respectively. The model can be probed also at e^+e^- colliders in the channels e+eγPe^+e^-\to\gamma P and e+ee+ePe^+e^-\to e^+e^-P, where the cross section is likely to be in the range 1 pb - 5 ab.Comment: 14 pages, 1 figure; v2: replaced with journal version, predictions for kaons refine
