Composite asymmetric dark matter with a dark photon portal: Multimessenger tests

Abstract: Composite asymmetric dark matter (ADM) is the framework that naturally explains the coincidence of the baryon density and the dark matter density of the Universe. Through a portal interaction sharing particle-antiparticle asymmetries in the Standard Model and dark sectors, dark matter particles, which are dark-sector counterparts of baryons, can decay into antineutrinos and dark-sector counterparts of mesons (dark mesons) or dark photon. Subsequent cascade decay of the dark mesons and the dark photon can also provide electromagnetic fluxes at late times of the Universe. We derive constraints on the lifetime of dark matter decay in the composite ADM scenario from the astrophysical observations of the $e^+$, $e^-$, and $\gamma$-ray fluxes. The constraints from cosmic-ray positron measurements by AMS-02 are the most stringent at $\gtrsim2$ GeV: a lifetime should be larger than the order of $10^{26}$ s, corresponding to the cutoff scale of the portal interaction of about $10^8 \text{--} 10^9 \, \mathrm{GeV}$. We also show the importance of neutrino observations with Super-Kamiokande and Hyper-Kamiokande, which give conservative bounds.
