Description

Self-interacting dark matter has been proposed to solve small scale structure problems. In this talk, we will present a simple and generic self-interacting dark matter model where dark matter particles interact through a sub-GeV force carrier. We show that the simple model can accommodate all astrophysical bounds on self-interactions in dark matter halos and explain the observed relic density, through a single coupling constant.
