Infrared spectroscopy has been developed significantly. In particular, infrared photons can be measured with high spectral and angular resolution in state-of-art spectrographs. They are sensitive to monochromatic photons due to the decay and annihilation of particles beyond the Standard Model, such as dark matter (DM), while insensitive to background photons that form a continuous spectrum. In this paper, we study the indirect detection of the DM decaying into infrared light using infrared…

We propose a new kind of axion model from the Grand Unified Theory (GUT) based on SU(5) × U(1) PQ . We show that for a certain charge assignment and possible flavor models the axion is naturally…
