The 3.5 keV line from non-perturbative Standard Model dark matter balls

Abstract

Our earlier put forward model of dark matter, consisting of cm-size pearls with ordinary matter inside under high pressure and with a mass of order $1.4\ast 10^8$ kg, is used to explain the mysterious 3.5 keV X-ray line from the galactic center and various galaxies and galaxy clusters. The pearls are bubbles of a new type of vacuum and thus surrounded by a surface tension providing the high pressure. We have two rather successful order of magnitude numerical results: 1) the X-ray energy of 3.5 keV comes out as the homolumo-gap or rather as the energy due to screening of electrons in the high pressure ordinary matter inside the pearls, and is well fitted. %predicted correctly to within a factor %{\bf tbc 2} %3; %$40\%$; 2) Using the fitting of Cline and Frey for dark matter radiation arising from collisions or annihilations of dark matter particles we fit the overall intensity of the radiation in our pearl model. We find that a pearl of the minimal size required just by stability, as used in our previous work \cite{Tunguska}, is inconsistent with the observed frequency and intensity of the 3.5 keV line. However the predictions of our model are very sensitive to the radius of the pearls and an excellent fit to both experimental quantities is obtained for a pearl of radius of 2.8 cm.

arXiv commentA factor 2 miscomputation was corrected, and a new value for the potential difference $\Delta V\pounds$ used
