Description

I will demonstrate a general photon proliferation effect from N-body ultralight dark matter (DM) annihilation in the early Universe, which can induce a drastic photon-temperature shift after neutrino decoupling. For pseudoscalar DM mass below the eV scale, I will show that the photon proliferation effect becomes significant as the mass approaches the ultralight end, presenting the leading constraints on the DM-photon coupling, DM self-interaction, and DM-electron coupling.
