Understand

We examine the vector-portal inelastic dark matter (DM) model with DM mass $m_\chi$ and dark photon mass $m_{A'}$, in the `forbidden dark matter' regime where $1 \lesssim m_{A'}/m_\chi \lesssim 2$, carefully tracking the dark sector temperature throughout freezeout.

The inelastic nature of the dark sector relaxes the stringent cosmic microwave background (CMB) and self-interaction constraints compared to symmetric DM models.
We determine the CMB limits on both annihilations involving excited states and annihilation into $e^+e^-$ through initial-state-radiation of an $A'$, as well as limits on the DM self-scattering, which proceeds at the one-loop level.
The unconstrained parameter space serves as an ideal target for accelerator $A'$ searches, and provides a DM self-interaction cross section that is large enough to observably impact small-scale structure.
