Abstract
We calculate, using unitarity, a lower bound on the branching ratio and , where is any halo dark matter particle that has as one of the major annihilation modes. Examples of such particles are supersymmetric particles with a dominant Higgsino component, or heavy triplet neutrinos. A substantial branching ratio is found for the and modes. We estimate the strength of the monoenergetic ray lines that result from such annihilations in the Galactic or LMC halos.
