Dark matter annihilation into right-handed neutrinos and the galactic center gamma-ray excess

In this paper, we will discuss a specific case that the dark matter particles annihilate into right-handed neutrinos. We calculate the predicted gamma-ray excess from the galactic center and compare our results with the data from the Fermi-LAT. An approximately 10-60 GeV right-handed neutrino with heavier dark matter particle can perfectly explain the observed spectrum. The annihilation cross section 〈σv〉 falls within the range 0.5–4 × 10−26 cm3/s, which is roughly compatible with the WIMP annihilation cross section.
