Cool dark sector, concordance, and a low σ_8
arxiv(2023)
摘要
We investigate a cosmological model in which a fraction of the dark matter is
atomic dark matter (ADM). This ADM consists of dark versions of the electron
and of the proton, interacting with each other and with dark photons just as
their light sector versions do, but interacting with everything else only
gravitationally. We find constraints given current cosmic microwave background
(CMB) and baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) data, with and without an H_0
prior, and with and without enforcing a big bang nucleosynthesis consistent
helium abundance. We find that, at low dark photon temperature, one can have
consistency with BAO and CMB data, with a fraction of dark matter that is ADM
(f_ adm) as large as ∼ 0.1. Such a large f_ adm leads to a
suppression of density fluctuations today on scales below about 60 Mpc that may
be of relevance to the σ_8 tension. Our work motivates calculation of
nonlinear corrections to matter power spectrum predictions in the ADM model. We
forecast parameter constraints to come from future ground-based CMB surveys,
and find that if ADM is indeed the cause of the σ_8 tension, the
influence of the ADM, primarily on CMB lensing, will likely be detectable at
high significance.
