Higgsed Yang Mills Self-Interacting Dark Matter

ORAL

Abstract

Recent work on self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) has shown it to be a solution to many of cold dark matter's problems. We present a model for Higgsed Yang Mills SIDM resulting from a completely broken SU(2) symmetry. In this model low energy dark matter self-interactions yield an attractive Yukawa potential consistent with SIDM and an annihilation cross section which can reproduce the observed relic abundance.
