Calculations of the Sommerfeld Effect in a Unified Wave Function Framework

Abstract

In this paper, we suggest a method of a complete calculation of the Sommerfeld effect in both the s-wave and p-wave annihilation situations. The basic idea is to uniformly consider the equal-time Beth-Salpeter wave functions of both the dark matter and the final state particles, then short-distance interactions can be parametrized as a cross-term considering the equations. Solving these equations will result in the complete formulas of the cross sections with the Sommerfeld effects.
