29. This gauging was also motivated by other reasons, like, at the time, making squarks and sleptons heavy through spontaneously-generated D terms rather than using (universal) explicit dimension-2 m 2 squark and slepton mass2 terms, as already introduced in the first paper of Ref. but breaking explicitly the supersymmetry. Generating spontaneously these m 2 terms led us to gauge an extra-U(1)A symmetry acting axially (in the simplest case) on quarks and leptons. m 2 terms are now usually generated through gravity-induced breaking.
30. The last two terms, proportional to N2 and N3, are also forbidden by the continuous R-symmetry if it is imposed. This one gets reduced to R-parity in the presence of gravity, owing to the gravitino and gaugino mass terms, in particular. It is still possible to use R-symmetry to forbid the N3 term (corresponding to dimension-4 terms in the Lagrangian density), while allowing for gravity-induced terms of dimensions ≤3 associated with m3/2, for which R-symmetry is reduced to R-parity.

42. In particular, we may have S-wave-dominated halo annihilations, with typical mχ 3 to 30 MeV, and a cross section (scaling like mχ2) which depends on the dark matter profile: (σχχ→e+e-vrel)halo (.2fbto.2pb)(mχ/(10MeV))2, as can be seen from Fig. 7 of Ref., small compared to the cross section at freeze-out, to be provided by the P-wave term.

49. In the case of a LDM particle lighter than about 10 MeV, this supernovae analysis points in the direction of a small coupling fν of the U boson to neutrinos, significantly smaller than its coupling fe to electrons. This would make it even more difficult than indicated in Ref. to attempt detecting U bosons with high-energy neutrino telescopes. Indeed, having fν fe (then 310-6mU(MeV), cf. Sec. 14) would lead to relatively large neutrino-LDM interactions (as for the large LDM interactions with electrons, responsible for their annihilations into e+e-), in conflict with the results of Ref. for such light dark matter particles.

55. Up to a recent time δae was constrained to verify δae (1.24±.95)10-11, i.e., approximately, -10-11 δae 310-11. The very recent measurement of the electron anomalous magnetic moment shifted the experimental value of ae downward by 1.7σ, with an uncertainty nearly 6 times lower than in the past. We still remain, however, with the uncertainties in the best determinations of α independently of ae, so that we can now write approximately, from the comparison between measured and "calculated" magnetic moments, -210-11 δae 210-11.

57. Such limits could be alleviated in the presence of extra contributions to ae and aμ, as from heavy (e.g. mirror) fermions in the case of spin-0 LDM particles. Conversely, U exchanges could help making acceptable such heavy fermion contributions to g-2, if present.
