Simplified TeV leptophilic dark matter in light of DAMPE data
Using a simplified framework, we attempt to explain the recent DAMPE cosmic
flux excess by leptophilic Dirac fermion dark matter (LDM). The
scalar () and vector () mediator fields connecting LDM and
Standard Model particles are discussed. Under constraints of DM relic density,
gamma-rays, cosmic-rays and Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), we find that the
couplings , , and can
produce the right bump in flux for a DM mass around 1.5 TeV with a
natural thermal annihilation cross-section today. Among them, coupling is tightly constrained by
PandaX-II data (although LDM-nucleus scattering appears at one-loop level) and
the surviving samples appear in the resonant region, . We also study the related collider signatures, such as dilepton
production , and muon anomaly. Finally,
we present a possible realization for such leptophilic dark matter.Comment: discussions added, version accepted by JHE
Leptophilic dark matter in gauged model in light of DAMPE cosmic ray excess
Motivated by the very recent cosmic-ray electron+positron excess observed by
DAMPE collaboration, we investigate a Dirac fermion dark matter (DM) in the
gauged model. DM interacts with the electron and muon via the
gauge boson . The model can explain the DAMPE data well.
Although a non-zero DM-nucleon cross section is only generated at one loop
level and there is a partial cancellation between and
couplings, we find that a large portion of mass is ruled out from
direct DM detection limit leaving the allowed mass to be close to two
times of the DM mass. Implications for and , and muon anomaly are also studied.Comment: Discussions added, version accepted by EPJ
Vacuum stability in stau-neutralino coannihilation in MSSM
The stau-neutralino coannihilation provides a feasible way to accommodate the
observed cosmological dark matter (DM) relic density in the minimal
supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). In such a coannihilation mechanism the
stau mass usually has an upper bound since its annihilation rate becomes small
with the increase of DM mass. Inspired by this observation, we examine the
upper limit of stau mass in the parameter space with a large mixing of staus.
We find that the stau pair may dominantly annihilate into dibosons and hence
the upper bound on the stau mass ( GeV) obtained from the
final states can be relaxed. Imposing the DM relic density constraint and
requiring a long lifetime of the present vacuum, we find that the lighter stau
mass can be as heavy as about 1.4 TeV for the stau maximum mixing. However, if
requiring the present vacuum to survive during the thermal history of the
universe, this mass limit will reduce to about 0.9 TeV. We also discuss the
complementarity of vacuum stability and direct detections in probing this stau
coannihilation scenario.Comment: 12 pages, 6 figure
Probing GeV-scale MSSM neutralino dark matter in collider and direct detection experiments
Given the recent constraints from the dark matter (DM) direct detections, we
examine a light GeV-scale (2-30 GeV) neutralino DM in the alignment limit of
the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). In this limit without
decoupling, the heavy CP-even scalar plays the role of the Standard Model
(SM) Higgs boson while the other scalar can be rather light so that the DM
can annihilate through the resonance or into a pair of to achieve the
observed relic density. With the current collider and cosmological constraints,
we find that such a light neutralino DM above 6 GeV can be excluded by the
XENON-1T (2017) limits while the survivied parameter space below 6 GeV can be
fully covered by the future germanium-based light dark matter detections (such
as CDEX), by the Higgs coupling precison measurements or by the production
process at an electron-positron collider (Higgs factory).Comment: 15 pages, 5 figures. Discussions and references added, version

Research on Wavelet Based Autofocus Evaluation in Micro-vision
AbstractThis paper presents the construction of two kinds of focusing measure operators defined in wavelet domain. One mechanism is that the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) coefficients in high frequency subbands of in-focused image are higher than those of defocused one. The other mechanism is that the autocorrelation of an in-focused image filtered through Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) gives a sharper profile than blurred one does. Wavelet base, scaling factor and form to get the sum of high frequency energy are the key factors in constructing the operator. Two new focus measure operators are defined through the autofocusing experiments on the micro-vision system of the workcell for micro-alignment. The performances of two operators can be quantificationally evaluated through the comparison with two spatial domain operators Brenner Function (BF) and Squared Gradient Function (SGF). The focus resolution of the optimized DWT-based operators is 14% higher than that of BF and its computational cost is 52% approximately lower than BF's. The focus resolution of the optimized CWT-based operators is 41% lower than that of SGF whereas its computational cost is approximately 36% lower than SGF's. It shows that the wavelet based autofocus measure functions can be practically used in micro-vision applications
