SIMPler realisation of Scalar Dark Matter

Abstract

With growing agony of not finding a dark matter (DM) particle in direct search experiments so far (for example in XENON1T), frameworks where the freeze-out of DM is driven by number changing processes within the dark sector itself and do not contribute to direct search, like Strongly Interacting Massive Particle (SIMP) are gaining more attention. In this analysis, we ideate a simple scalar DM framework stabilised by $Z_3$ symmetry to serve with a SIMP-like DM ($\chi$) with additional light scalar mediation ($\varphi$) to enhance DM self interaction. We identify that a large parameter space for such DM is available from correct relic density and self interaction constraints coming from Bullet or Abell cluster data. We derive an approximate analytic solution for freeze-out of the SIMP like DM in Boltzmann Equation describing $3\to 2$ number changing process within the dark sector. We also provide a comparative analysis of the SIMP like solution with the Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) realisation of the same model framework here.
