A Simple Dark Matter Model to Explain the LZ Event and Galactic Center Excess
- Published
- September 22, 2026
- Identifier
- arXiv:2609.26570
Why it is here
One exothermic pseudo-Dirac benchmark connects the LZ candidate to the Galactic Center excess while requiring an excited state that survives to the present halo.
Machine-assisted summary
The authors propose 20--100 GeV pseudo-Dirac dark matter coupled through a hadrophilic baryon-number vector, with a cosmologically long-lived excited state whose roughly MeV downscattering can fit the xenon recoil in the same thermal parameter space as the Galactic Center gamma-ray excess.
