N2 - We discuss dark matter decay mediated by exotically charged particles (''exotics'') in a supersymmetric model with two dark matter (DM) components: one is the (bino-like) lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) χ, and the other is a newly introduced meta-stable neutral singlet N. N decays to χe +e - via a dimension 6 operator induced by a penguin-type one loop diagram with the life time of 10 26 sec., explaining energetic cosmic e ± excess observed recently by PAMELA and ATIC/PPB-BETS. The superheavy masses of exotics ( ∼ 10 15-16 GeV) are responsible for the longevity of N. The superpartner of N develops the vacuum expectation value (VEV) of order TeV so that the DM N achieves the desired mass of 2 TeV. By the VEV, the U(1) R symmetry is broken to the discrete Z 2 symmetry, which is identified with the matter parity in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Since we have the two DM components, even extremely small amount of N [(10 -10) (n N/n χ)] could account for the observed positron flux with relatively light exotics' masses [10 12GeV M exo 10 16 GeV].
