Abstract

The annihilation cross section of TeV scale dark matter particles χ0\chi^0 with electroweak charges into photons is affected by large quantum corrections due to Sudakov logarithms and the Sommerfeld effect. We calculate the semi-inclusive photon energy spectrum in χ0χ0γ+X\chi^0\chi^0\to \gamma+X in the vicinity of the maximal photon energy Eγ=mχE_\gamma = m_\chi with NLL' accuracy in an all-order summation of the electroweak perturbative expansion adopting the pure wino model. This results in the most precise theoretical prediction of the annihilation rate for γ\gamma-ray telescopes with photon energy resolution of parametric order mW2/mχm_W^2/m_\chi for photons with TeV energies.
