Unitarity violation and restoration in radiative bound-state formation

Marcos M. Flores, Kalliopi Petraki

State-of-the-art calculations motivated by dark matter exhibit severe violation of partial-wave unitarity in the non-relativistic regime in radiative bound-state-formation processe…

Unitarizing non-relativistic scattering

Marcos M. Flores, Kalliopi Petraki

Unitarity imposes coupled constraints on elastic and inelastic amplitudes. Satisfying them requires resummation of the self-energy contributions from both elastic and inelastic cha…

Critical and super-critical scatterings in baryogenesis and leptogenesis

Marcos M. Flores, Kalliopi Petraki, Anna Socha

In many theories, matter-antimatter asymmetries originate from out-of-equilibrium decays and scatterings of heavy particles. While decays remain efficient, scattering rates typical…

The role of unitarisation on dark-matter freeze-out via metastable bound states

Kalliopi Petraki, Anna Socha, Christiana Vasilaki

In many Abelian and non-Abelian theories, standard calculations of radiative bound-state formation violate partial-wave unitarity - even at arbitrarily small couplings - when captu…

Unitarity in the non-relativistic regime and implications for dark matter

Marcos M. Flores, Kalliopi Petraki

Unitarity sets upper limits on partial-wave elastic and inelastic cross-sections, which are often violated by perturbative computations. We discuss the dynamics underlying these li…

Radiation back-reaction during dark-matter freeze-out via metastable bound states

Christiana Vasilaki, Kalliopi Petraki

The formation and decay of metastable bound states can deplete significantly the density of multi-TeV thermal-relic dark matter. The effect depends on the interplay of bound-state…
