Description
Radiative electroweak corrections are known to grow with energy from the few
permille level at the 100 GeV scale typical of LEP up to the 10-20% level at
the TeV scale. On top of the importance of this feature for LHC physics, it has
been recently shown that these corrections also have a significant impact on the
energy spectra of stable Standard Model particles arising from Dark Matter
annihiation/decay in our Galaxy. I discuss these issues and give a few relevant
examples.
