An attractive way to generate neutrino masses as required to account for current neutrino oscillation data involves the spontaneous breaking of lepton number. The resulting majoron may pick up a mass due to gravity. If its mass lies in the kilovolt scale, the majoron can play the role of late-decaying Dark Matter (LDDM), decaying mainly to neutrinos. In general the majoron has also a sub-dominant decay to two photons leading to a mono-energetic emission line which can be used as a test of the LDDM scenario. We compare expected photon emission rates with observations in order to obtain model independent restrictions on the relevant parameters. We also illustrate the resulting sensitivities within an explicit seesaw realisation, where the majoron couples to photons due to the presence of a Higgs triplet.

We study the cosmological effects of two-body dark matter decays where the products of the decay include a massless and a massive particle. We show that if the massive daughter particle is slightly warm it is possible to relieve the tension between d
istance ladder measurements of the present day Hubble parameter with measurements from the cosmic microwave background.
We consider axino warm dark matter in a supersymmetric axion model with R-parity violation. In this scenario, axino with the mass $m_axinosimeq 7$ keV can decay into photon and neutrino resulting in the X-ray line signal at $3.5$ keV, which might be
the origin of unidentified X-ray emissions from galaxy clusters and Andromeda galaxy detected by the XMM-Newton X-ray observatory.
We constrain and update the bounds on the life-time of a decaying dark matter model with a warm massive daughter particle using the most recent low-redshift probes. We use Supernovae Type-Ia, Baryon Acoustic Oscillations and the time delay measuremen
ts of gravitationally lensed quasars. These data sets are complemented by the early universe priors taken from the Cosmic Microwave background. For the maximum allowed fraction of the relativistic daughter particle, the updated bounds on the life-time are found to be $tau > 9, rm{Gyr}$ and $tau >11,rm{Gyr}$ at $95%$ C.L., for the two-body and many-body decay scenarios, respectively. We also comment on the recent proposal that the current two-body decaying dark matter model can provide resolution for the $H_0$-tension, by contrasting against the standard $Lambda$CDM model. We infer that the current dark matter decaying scenario is unlikely to alleviate the $H_0$-tension. We find that the decaying dark matter is able to reduce the trend of the decreasing $H_0$ values with increasing lens redshifts observed in the strong lensing dataset.
Recent weak lensing surveys have revealed that the direct measurement of the parameter combination $S_8equivsigma_8(Omega_m/0.3)^{0.5}$ -- measuring the amplitude of matter fluctuations on 8 $h^{-1}$Mpc scales -- is $sim3sigma$ discrepant with the va
lue reconstructed from cosmic microwave background (CMB) data assuming the $Lambda$CDM model. In this Letter, we show that it is possible to resolve the tension if dark matter (DM) decays with a lifetime of $text{log}_{10}(Gamma^{-1}/ text{Gyr})= 1.75_{-0.95}^{+1.4}$ into one massless and one massive product, and transfers a fraction $varepsilonsimeq 0.7^{+2.7}_{-0.6}%$ of its rest mass energy to the massless component. The velocity-kick received by the massive daughter leads to a suppression of gravitational clustering below its free-streaming length, thereby reducing the $sigma_8$ value as compared to that inferred from the standard $Lambda$CDM model, in a similar fashion to massive neutrino and standard warm DM. Contrarily to the latter scenarios, the time-dependence of the power suppression and the free-streaming scale allows the 2-body decaying DM scenario to accommodate CMB, baryon acoustic oscillation, growth factor and uncalibrated supernova Ia data. We briefly discuss implications for DM model building, galactic small-scale structure problems and the recent Xenon-1T excess. Future experiments measuring the growth factor to high accuracy at $0lesssim zlesssim1$ can further test this scenario.
It has been suggested that late-universe dark matter decays can alleviate the tension between measurements of $H_0$ in the local universe and its value inferred from cosmic microwave background fluctuations. Decaying dark matter can potentially accou
nt for this discrepancy as it reshuffles the energy density between matter and radiation and as a result allows dark energy to become dominant at earlier times. We show that the low multipoles amplitude of the cosmic microwave background anisotropy power spectrum severely constrains the feasibility of late-time decays as a solution to the $H_0$ tension.
