    We consider the dark matter model with radiative neutrino mass generation where the Standard Model is extended with three right-handed singlet neutrinos (N1N_1, N2N_2 and N3N_3) and one additional SU(2)L_L doublet scalar η\eta. One of the right-handed neutrinos (N1N_1), being lightest among them, is a leptophilic fermionic dark matter candidate whose stability is ensured by the imposed Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 symmetry on this model. The second lightest right-handed neutrino (N2N_2) is assumed to be nearly degenerated with the lightest one enhancing the co-annihilation between them. The effective interaction term among the lightest, second lightest right-handed neutrinos and photon containing transition magnetic moment is responsible for the decay of heavier right-handed neutrino to the lightest one and a photon (N2N1+γN_2\to N_1 + \gamma). This radiative decay of heavier right-handed neutrino %to the the lightest one with charged scalar and leptons in internal lines could explain the X-ray line signal \sim 3.53.5 keV recently claimed by XMM-Newton X-ray observatory from different galaxy clusters and Andromeda galaxy (M31). The value of the transition magnetic moment is computed and found to be several orders of magnitude below the current reach of various direct dark matter searches. The other parameter space in this framework in the light of the observed signal is further investigated.Comment: 11 Pages LaTeX, 2 Figures, 1 Tabl

    Finite size scaling in crossover among different random matrix ensembles in microscopic lattice models

    Using numerical diagonalization we study the crossover among different random matrix ensembles [Poissonian, Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE), Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) and Gaussian Symplectic Ensemble (GSE)] realized in two different microscopic models. The specific diagnostic tool used to study the crossovers is the level spacing distribution. The first model is a one dimensional lattice model of interacting hard core bosons (or equivalently spin 1/2 objects) and the other a higher dimensional model of non-interacting particles with disorder and spin orbit coupling. We find that the perturbation causing the crossover among the different ensembles scales to zero with system size as a power law with an exponent that depends on the ensembles between which the crossover takes place. This exponent is independent of microscopic details of the perturbation. We also find that the crossover from the Poissonian ensemble to the other three is dominated by the Poissonian to GOE crossover which introduces level repulsion while the crossover from GOE to GUE or GOE to GSE associated with symmetry breaking introduces a subdominant contribution. We also conjecture that the exponent is dependent on whether the system contains interactions among the elementary degrees of freedom or not and is independent of the dimensionality of the system.Comment: 15 pages, 8 figure
