Velocity-dependent self-interacting dark matter from thermal freeze-out and tests in direct detections

Abstract A small fraction of millicharged dark matter (DM) is considered in the literature to give an interpretation of the enhanced 21-cm absorption at the cosmic dawn. Here we focus on the case that the main component of DM is self-interacting dark matter (SIDM), motivated by the small-scale probl...
