Over the past few decades, an anomalous 511 keV gamma-ray line has been observed from the center of the Milky Way. Dark matter (DM) in the form of light (≲10  MeV) weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) annihilating into electron-positron pairs...

Dark matter–radiation interactions: the structure of Milky Way satellite galaxies (2016)
Journal Article

In the thermal dark matter (DM) paradigm, primordial interactions between DM and Standard Model particles are responsible for the observed DM relic density. In Boehm et al. (2014), we showed that weak-strength interactions between DM and radiation (p... Read More about Dark matter–radiation interactions: the structure of Milky Way satellite galaxies.
