Description
Dark Higgs is very generic in dark matter models where DM is stabilized by some spontaneously broken dark gauge symmetries. Motivated by the FERMI observation of ∼GeV scale γ-ray excess from the galactic center (GC), we investigate a scenario that a pair of dark matter X annihilates into a pair of dark Higgs H2, which subsequently decays into standard model particles through its mixing with SM Higgs boson. Besides the two-body decay of H2, we also include multibody decay channels of the dark Higgs. We find that the best-fit point is around MX≃95.0GeV, MH2≃86.7GeV, ⟨σv⟩≃4.0×10−26cm3/s and gives a p-value ≃0.40. Implication of this result is described in the context of dark matter models with dark gauge symmetries. Since such a dark Higgs boson is very difficult to produce at colliders, indirect DM detections of cosmic γ-rays could be an important probe of dark sectors, complementary to collider searches.
