Resummed photon spectrum from dark matter annihilation for intermediate and narrow energy resolution

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2020-12-17 v2

Abstract

The annihilation cross section of weakly interacting TeV scale dark matter particles χ0\chi^0 into photons is affected by large quantum corrections due to electroweak Sudakov logarithms and the Sommerfeld effect. We extend our previous work on the resummation of 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 from the case of narrow photon energy resolution EresγE^\gamma_{\rm res} of order mW2/mχm_W^2/m_\chi to intermediate resolution of order EresγmWE^\gamma_{\rm res} \sim m_W. We also provide details on the previous narrow resolution calculation. The two calculations, performed in different effective field theory set-ups for the wino dark matter model, are then shown to match well, providing an accurate representation up to energy resolutions of about 300 GeV.
