Exact Cross Sections for the Neutralino WIMP Pair-Annihilation

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-11-17 v2

Abstract

We derive a full set of exact, analytic expressions for the annihilation of the lightest neutralino pairs into all two-body tree-level final states in the framework of minimal supersymmetry. We make no simplifying assumptions about the neutralino nor about sfermion masses and mixings other than the absence of explicit CP--violating terms. The expressions should be particularly useful in computing the neutralino WIMP relic abundance without the usual approximation of partial wave expansion.
