A possibility of dark matter (DM) being multicomponent has a strong implication on resolving longstanding cosmological problems on small scale. The simplest two-component DM (2cDM) model with inelastic interactions has recently been shown to robustly resolve the missing satellites, core-cusp, and too-big-to-fail problems in N-body cosmological DM-only simulations tested on MW-like environments with DM halos of a virial mass ∼5×1011 Msun [1,2]. With the aim of further constraining the parameter space available for the 2cDM model, we extend our analysis to dwarf and galaxy cluster haloes with their virial mass of ∼107 Msun and ∼1015 Msun, respectively. We find that the normalized cross-sections σ/m≥0.1 cm2/g are disfavored for both dwarfs and galaxy cluster haloes, while σ/m≤0.001 cm2/g have too little effect on DM halos making them nearly indistinguishable from their CDM counterparts. We conclude that the 2cDM model can naturally resolve the above small-scale cosmological problems of DM halos across about eight orders of magnitude in their virial mass for the cross-sections σ/m∼0.1-0.001 cm2/g.
