Abstract

Motivated by the very recent cosmic-ray electron+positron excess observed by DAMPE collaboration, we investigate a Dirac fermion dark matter (DM) in the gauged model. DM interacts with the electron and muon via the gauge boson . The model can explain the DAMPE data well. Although a non-zero DM-nucleon cross section is only generated at one loop level and there is a partial cancellation between and couplings, we find that a large portion of mass is ruled out from direct DM detection limit leaving the allowed mass to be close to two times of the DM mass. Implications for and , and muon anomaly are also studied.
