Asymmetric dark matter from semi-annihilation: unitarity constraints and long-lived final states
摘要
This work presents an asymmetric dark matter model with relic density determined by the freeze-out of asymmetric semi-annihilations into long-lived particles slowly decaying into the Standard Model states. We carefully consider the CPT symmetry and unitarity constraints to the asymmetries entering the Boltzmann equation. The main idea of the paper is to point out a critical inconsistency in the previous literature, where these constraints are violated. We present a systematic approach to avoid the inconsistency.
