Abstract

A neutral Dirac fermion ψ   with a nonzero magnetic dipole moment is supplied as a singlet within the context of the standard model and is considered as a dark matter candidate near the electroweak scale (10–1000 GeV10–1000 GeV). We discuss its dynamics with the ordinary matters through the magnetic dipole moment. The magnetic dipole moment constrained by the relic abundance may be as large as 10−18–10−17e⋅cm10−18–10−17e⋅cm. We show that the elastic scattering is due to a spin–spin interaction for the direct detections and the predictions are under experimental exclusion limits of the current direct detectors, XENON10 and CDMS II, and consider the possibility of dark matter detection in the future.
