1204.2576 (M. S. Boucenna et al.)

Planck-scale effects on WIMP dark matter    [PDF]

M. S. Boucenna, R. A. Lineros, J. W. F Valle
Weakly Interactive Massive Particles are among the most motivated candidates invoked to solve the Dark Matter puzzle. The stability of Dark Matter (DM) typically results from a global protective symmetry. However, the presence of gravitational effects may cause its explicit breaking. We show that this provides a new source of signal for indirect DM searches as well as the embedding of a large class of decaying Dark Matter models into the WIMP paradigm.
