Sommerfeld Effect and Bound State Formation for Dark Matter Models with Colored Mediators with SE+BSF4DM
Mathias Becker, Emanuele Copello, Julia Harz +1
In the universal framework of simplified -channel dark matter models, the calculation of the relic abundance can be dominated by mediator annihilation when the dark matter and m…
Manual for SE+BSF4DM -- A micrOMEGAs package for Sommerfeld Effect and Bound State Formation in colored Dark Sectors
Mathias Becker, Emanuele Copello, Julia Harz +1
This manual describes the usage and implementation of SE+BSF4DM, an add-on package for micrOMEGAs that includes the Sommerfeld effect and bound state formation in the numerical eva…
t-channel dark matter at the LHC -- a whitepaper
Chiara Arina, Benjamin Fuks, Luca Panizzi +67
This report, summarising work achieved in the context of the LHC Dark Matter Working Group, investigates the phenomenology of -channel dark matter models, spanning minimal setup…
Dark matter freeze-in from non-equilibrium QFT: towards a consistent treatment of thermal effects
Mathias Becker, Emanuele Copello, Julia Harz +1
We study thermal corrections to a model of real scalar dark matter (DM) interacting feebly with a SM fermion and a gauge-charged vector-like fermion mediator. We employ the Closed-…
Confronting Dark Matter Freeze-In during Reheating with Constraints from Inflation
Mathias Becker, Emanuele Copello, Julia Harz +2
We investigate the production of particle Dark Matter (DM) in a minimal freeze-in model considering a non-instantaneous reheating phase after inflation. We demonstrate that for low…
