3. Dark matter bound states: where do we stand?

Prof. Simone Biondini (Groningen Univ.)

3/17/20, 2:30 PM

In a variety of theories, Dark Matter (DM) interacts with gauge bosons or scalars that induce long-range interactions because of repeated soft exchanges. Remarkably, the inclusion of bound-state effects for DM annihilation has been recently shown to have a large impact on the relic density and, therefore, on the parameters of a given model to be compatible with observations. At the same time,...
