Abstract

We perform a comprehensive analysis of a radion/dilaton portal freeze-in dark matter in models of stabilized warped extra-dimensions. We show that the relic abundance of a generic dark matter particle (scalars, vectors, or fermions) is obtained via the conformal coupling of the radial mode in a consistent model stabilized warped extra- dimensions; our calculations show that in scenarios where the reheating temperature is much smaller than the radion mass, keV-TeV scale dark matter particles can saturate the relic density. We perform a comprehensive analysis of a radion/dilaton portal freeze-in dark matter in models of stabilized warped extra-dimensions. We show that the relic abundance of a generic dark matter particle (scalars, vectors, or fermions) is obtained via the conformal coupling of the radial mode in a consistent model stabilized warped extra- dimensions; our calculations show that in scenarios where the reheating temperature is much smaller than the radion mass, keV-TeV scale dark matter particles can saturate the relic density. Furthermore, we show that the model is subject to Lyman-alpha constraints in the keV-GeV range, providing a unique, model-independent probe of this sector. Our calculations extend previous attempts to calculate the freeze-in relic abundance in extra-dimensional portals by providing a consistent theoretical calculation of matrix elements, clearly laying out the underlying motivation and assumptions and providing a comprehensive account of the cosmological constraints on the model.
