Why it is here

Combines exothermic kinematics and feeble hadrophilic couplings to evade the usual indirect-detection tension.

Machine-assisted summary

The authors explain the recoil with exothermic dark matter coupled through a hadrophilic gauge boson and populated by freeze-in after low reheating, suppressing indirect signals while satisfying relic-density and flavor constraints.
