Radiatively decaying scalar dark matter through U(1) mixings and the Fermi 130 GeV gamma-ray line

Abstract

In light of the recent observation of the Fermi-LAT 130 GeV gamma-ray line, we suggest a model of scalar dark matter in hidden sector, which can decay into two (hidden) photons. The process is radiatively induced by a GUT scale fermion in the loop, which is charged under a hidden sector U(1), and the kinetic mixing (∼ϵFμνFμν′\sim \epsilon F^{\mu\nu}F'_{\mu\nu}) enables us to fit the required decay width for the Fermi-LAT peak. The model does not allow any dangerous decay channels into light standard model particles.Comment: 15 pages, 6 figures, Discussion on the morphology of 130 GeV gamma-rays: decay vs annihilation, references adde
