The "Dark disk" model in the light of DAMPE experiment

Abstract

There are a lot of models considering the Dark Matter (DM) to be the origin of cosmic ray (CR) positron excess. However, they face an obstacle in the form of gamma-rays. Simple DM models tend to overproduce gamma-rays, leading to contradiction with isotropic gamma-ray background (IGRB). The <<dark disk>> model has been proposed to alleviate this contradiction. This work considers results of DAMPE experiment in the framework of the disk model. It is obtained that such a framework allows improving data fit considerably.
