AMS-02 observations of antiprotons, and Planck limits on dark matter annihilation -- potential support for a multicomponent dark matter scenario

ORAL

Abstract

Several independent analyses of the antiprotons observed by AMS-02 suggest that the observations are consistent with the annihilation of dark matter particles with a mass somewhat below 100 GeV~[1-4]. We will describe a multicomponent dark matter scenario, with a subdominant neutralino and a dominant higgson~[5] of mass $\sim$75 GeV, which is fully consistent with these results, and also with the Planck limits~[6].
