Higgs portal vector dark matter for mathinner{GeV} scale γ-ray excess from galactic center
read the original abstract
We show that the $\mathinner{\mathrm{GeV}}$ scale $\gamma$-ray excess from the direction of the Galactic Center can be naturally explained by the pair annihilation of Abelian vector dark matter (VDM) into a pair of dark Higgs bosons $VV \rightarrow \phi \phi$, followed by the subsequent decay of $\phi$ into $\phi \rightarrow b\bar{b} , \tau \bar{\tau} $. All the processes are described by a renormalizable VDM model with the Higgs portal, which is naturally flavor-dependent. Some parameter space of this scenario can be tested at the near future direct dark matter search experiments such as LUX and XENON1T.

LHC Mono-$W/Z$ Signatures as a Probe for Dark Matter Explanations of Astrophysical Excesses
LHC mono-W/Z searches with a new channel-separation method can exclude large ranges of neutral and charged mass splittings in the 70-75 GeV IDM dark matter scenario that fits astrophysical excesses.

A Comprehensive Study of WIMP Models Explaining the Fermi-LAT Galactic Center Excess
WIMP models for the Galactic Center Excess survive only in finely tuned resonant funnels with portal couplings around 10^-4, with leptophilic vectors and pseudoscalar portals remaining most viable after current bounds.
