Description

WIMP-less dark matter [J. L. Feng and J. Kumar, Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 231301 (2008).] offers an attractive framework in which dark matter can be very light. We investigate the implications of such scenarios on invisible decays of bottomonium states for dark matter with a mass less than around 5 GeV. We relate these decays to measurements of nucleon-dark matter elastic scattering. We also investigate the effect that a coupling to s quarks has on flavor changing b→s processes involving missing energy.
