A DM candidate indicated at Fermi-LAT and LZ ? Connection with LHC and LC prospects

Recently an analysis of Fermi-LAT data has claimed a significant excess of energetic photons centred around 20 GeV, in the halo of our galaxy but absent in dwarf galaxies. This excess can be interpreted as coming from dark mater (DM) objects with a mass of few 100 GeV which annihilate into hadronic jets containing photons mainly from neutral pions. This observation is independently backed up by a completely independent observation of the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) detector of a DM candidate in the same region of mass. To avoid contradiction with upper limits coming from dwarf galaxies, one is led to assume the presence of a spin 2 resonance coupled to these objects, which explains this difference as due to different speed distributions in the two regions. This work recalls that LHC data indicate a tower of Kaluza Klein graviton resonances. This solution is at variance with a SUSY interpretation of DM and therefore does not necessary call for a 1.1 TeV Higgsino, as often proposed. If these KK resonances are coupled to e+e-, as indicated by LHC data, an e+e- collider could observe these DM objects. LHC could confirm our KK graviton interpretation and, eventually, detect the DM particles. This would allow to define de energy needed at a future e+e- collider.

Simple operator formulation of the Bakamjian-Thomas approach to heavy quark current , with generalisation to HQET, and with applications to transitions of Lambda-b

Starting from the general formulation of current matrix elements in the Bakamjian-Thomas (BT) approach to quark models, certain aspects of their heavy quark limit are exhibited in an intuitive form, allowing a common treatment for any number of quarks and angular momenta j,j'. We use the general Falk interpretation of Isgur-Wise functions as overlaps of light parton states in motion. Then, in BT, for small collinear velocities, the motion of these states is described by a very simple dimensionless differential operator O acting on the internal wave functions of the light quarks, which is a relativistic generalisation of the dipole operator times the quark mass : it appears as the generator of Lorentz transformations for N free light particles.
