Limiting the Heavy-quark and Gluon-philic Real Dark Matter

Abstract

We investigate the phenomenological viability of real spin half, zero and one dark matter candidates, which interact predominantly with third generation heavy quarks and gluons via the twenty-eight gauge invariant higher dimensional effective operators. The corresponding Wilson coefficients are constrained one at a time from the relic density ${\Omega }^{\mathrm{DM}}{h}^2$ $\approx$ 0.1198. Their contributions to the thermal averaged annihilation cross-sections are shown to be consistent with the FermiLAT and H.E.S.S. experiments' projected upper bound on the annihilation cross-section in the $b\bar{b}$ mode. The tree-level gluon-philic and one-loop induced heavy-quark-philic DM-nucleon direct-detection cross-sections are analysed. The non-observation of any excess over expected background in the case of recoiled Xe-nucleus events for spin-independent DM-nucleus scattering in XENON-1T sets the upper limits on the eighteen Wilson coefficients. Our analysis validates the real DM candidates for the large range of accessible mass spectrum below 2 TeV for all but one interaction induced by the said operators.
