我们证明了一个规范单重态标量S,与希格斯二重态的耦合形式为lambda(S)S+SH+H,并且S的质量完全由希格斯期望值产生,如果m(S)约等于(2.9-10.5)(Omega(S)/0.3)(1/5)(h/0.7)(2/5)MeV,则S的热生残余密度Omega(S)约等于0.3。值得注意的是,这非常类似于当η比1小得多时,自相互作用(η/4)(S+S)(2)解释自相互作用暗物质所需的范围[m(S)=(6.6-15.4)eta(2/3)MeV]。相应的耦合是λ(S)近似(2.7 x 10(-10)-3.6 x 10(-9))(Omega(S)/0.3)(2/5)(h/0.7)(4/5),这意味着这些标量与标准模型扇区的耦合非常弱。
We show that a gauge singlet scalar S, with a coupling to the Higgs doublet of the form lambda(S)S+SH+H and with the S mass entirely generated by the Higgs expectation value, has a thermally generated relic density Omega(S)approximately equal to 0.3 if m(S)approximately equal to (2.9-10.5) (Omega(S)/0.3)(1/5)(h/0.7)(2/5) MeV. Remarkably, this is very similar to the range [m(S) = (6.6-15.4)eta(2/3) MeV] required in order for the self-interaction (eta/4) (S+S)(2) to account for self-interacting dark matter when eta is not much smaller than 1. The corresponding coupling is lambda(S)approximate(2.7 x 10(-10)-3.6 x 10(-9)) (Omega(S)/0.3)(2/5)(h/0.7)(4/5), implying that such scalars are very weakly coupled to the standard model sector.
