Flavored Dark Matter and the Galactic Center Gamma-Ray Excess
avor-safe manner. We propose a phenomenologically viable model of bottom avored dark matter that can account for the spectral shape and normalization of the gamma-ray excess while naturally suppressing the elastic scattering cross sections probed by direct detection experiments. This model will be denitively tested with increased exposure at LUX and with data from the upcoming high-energy run of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
