Abstract
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 1026 sec., explaining energetic cosmic e excess observed recently by PAMELA and ATIC/PPB-BETS. The superheavy masses of exotics ( ∼ 1015-16 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 Z2 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/nχ)] could account for the observed positron flux with relatively light exotics' masses [1012GeV Mexo 1016 GeV].
