Double-action dark matter, PAMELA and ATIC

Understand

Motivated by a two-bump (or 1-peak plus 1-hump) structure in the ATIC data, we perform a statistical analysis fitting the PAMELA and ATIC data to a dark matter model, in which the dark matter particle can undergo both annihilation and decay.

• Using a chi-square analysis we show that both data can be simultaneously fitted better with such a double-action dark matter particle.
• We use an existing neutrino mass model in literature to illustrate the idea.
