Abstract

We report the following calculations for a recently proposed bosonic dark matter WIMP with well-defined interactions: 1) the mass as determined by fitting to the relic abundance; 2) the current annihilation cross-section for indirect detection; 3) cross-sections for pair production accompanied by jets in proton colliders with center-of-mass energies ranging from 13 to 100 TeV; 4) for the high-luminosity LHC, and planned 100 TeV proton collider, detailed plots of experimentally accessible quantities before and after optimal cuts; 5) cross-sections, and plots of experimentally accessible quantities, for production in or muon colliders with center-of-mass energies up to 10 TeV; 6) cross-section per nucleon for direct detection. The conclusions are given in the text, including the principal prediction that (with optimal cuts) this particle should be detectable at the high-luminosity LHC, perhaps after only two years with an integrated luminosity of 500 fb⁻¹.
