Connection between a possible fifth force and the direct detection of Dark Matter

Bovy, Jo, Farrar, Glennys R.

Understand

If there is a fifth force in the dark sector and dark sector particles interact non-gravitationally with ordinary matter, quantum corrections generically lead to a fifth force in the visible sector.

  • We show how the strong experimental limits on fifth forces in the visible sector constrain the direct detection cross section, and the strength of the fifth force in the dark sector.
  • If the latter is comparable to gravity, the spin-independent direct detection cross section must typically be <~ 10^{-55} cm^2.
  • The anomalous acceleration of ordinary matter falling towards dark matter is also constrained: \eta_{OM-DM} <~ 10^{-8}.
