Abstract
We study the fluctuations in the brightness temperature of 21-cm signal [Formula: see text] at the dark ages ([Formula: see text]) with a dark matter (DM) candidate in Inert Doublet Model (IDM). We then explore the effects of different fractions of IDM DM on [Formula: see text] signal. The IDM DM masses are chosen in few tens of GeV region as well as in the high mass region beyond 500 GeV. It has been observed that the [Formula: see text] signal is more sensitive in the DM mass range of 70–80 GeV. A lower bound on annihilation cross-section for this DM is also obtained by analyzing the [Formula: see text] signal. This is found to lie within the range [Formula: see text] cm3/s for the IDM DM mass range 10 GeV[Formula: see text] GeV.
