Abstract
The cosmic ray data of PAMELA/ATIC may be explained by dark matter decay with a decay rate ÏDMâ1â¼10â26sâ1â¼10â45eV, an energy scale which could not be understood within the framework of the standard model or its simple supersymmetric extension. We propose anomaly induced dark matter decay to exponentially suppress the decay rate, and apply to a supersymmetric extension of the Ma's inert Higgs model of the radiative seesaw mechanism for neutrino masses. In this model the lightest right-handed neutrino ÏN and the lightest neutralino Ï can fill the observed necessary dark matter relic, and we find that ÏN can decay into Ï through anomaly with a right order of decay rate, emitting only leptons. All the emitted positrons are right-handed.
