1305.1307 (Mikhail V Medvedev)

Cosmological Simulations of Multi-Component Cold Dark Matter    [PDF]

Mikhail V Medvedev
The nature of dark matter is unknown. A number of dark matter candidates are quantum flavor-mixed particles but this property has never been accounted for in cosmology. Here we explore this possibility from the first principles via extensive $N$-body cosmological simulations and demonstrate that the two-component dark matter model agrees with observational data at all scales. Substantial reduction of substructure and flattening of density profiles in the centers of dark matter halos found in simulations simultaneously resolve several outstanding puzzles of modern cosmology. Predictions for direct and indirect detection dark matter experiments are also made.
