Type II Seesaw and the PAMELA/ATIC Signals
arXiv:0904.2201 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2009.07.035
Abstract
We discuss how the cosmic ray signals reported by the PAMELA and ATIC/PPB-BETS experiments may be understood in a Standard Model (SM) framework supplemented by type II seesaw and a stable SM singlet scalar boson as dark matter. A particle physics explanation of the 'boost' factor can be provided by including an additional SM singlet scalar field.
