摘要
A dual component made of non-relativistic particles and a scalar field, exchanging energy, naturally falls onto an attract or solution, making them a (sub)dominant part of the cosmic energy during the radiation dominated era, provided that the constant beta, measuring the coupling, is strong enough. The density parameters of both components are then constant, as they expand as a(-4). If the field energy is then prevalently kinetic, as is expected, its energy is exactly half of the pressureless component; the dual component as a whole, then, has a density parameter Omega(ed) = 3/4 beta(2) (e.g., for beta similar or equal to 2.5, Omega(cd) similar or equal to 0.1, in accordance with Dark Radiation expectations). The stationary evolution can only be broken by the rising of other component (s), expanding as a(-3). In a realistic scenario, this happens when z similar to 3-5 x 10(3). When such extra component(s) become(s) dominant, the densities of the dual components also rise above radiation. The scalar field behavior can be easily tuned to tit Dark Energy data, while the coupled DM density parameter becomes O(10(-3)). This model however requires that, at present, two different DM components exist. The one responsible for the break of the stationary regime could be made, e.g., by thermally distributed particles with mass even >> 1 2 keV (or non-thermal particles with analogous average speed) so accounting for the size of observed galactic cores; in fact, a fair amount of small scale objects is however produced by fluctuation re-generated by the coupled DM component, in spite of its small density parameter, after the warm component has become non-relativistic.
