We calculate the one-loop contribution to the bino annihilation rate due to the process $\widetilde B \widetilde B \to Z^*$, which vanishes at tree level.
In this paper we consider the notions of binomial thinning, binomial mixing, their generalizations, certain interplay between them, associated limit theorems and provide various examples.
The extracted value of the relic density has reached the few per-cent level precision. One can therefore no longer content oneself with calculations of this observable where the annihilation processes are computed at tree-level, especially…
We analyze the partial decay widths of sfermions decaying into charginos and neutralinos \Gamma(\sfermion -> f'\chi) at the one-loop level. We present the renormalization framework, and discuss the value of the corrections for top- and…
We consider scenarios in which dark matter is a Majorana fermion which couples to Standard Model fermions through the exchange of charged mediating particles. The matrix elements for various dark matter annihilation processes are then…

Theoretical remarks are offered regarding recent hadron collider results on the mixing and decays of $B_s$ mesons. Topics covered include: (1) CP-violating mixing in $B_s(\ob_s) \to J/\psi \phi$, (2) the D0 dimuon charge asymmetry, (3)…

We calculate the one-loop corrections to TeV scale dark matter annihilation in a model where the dark matter is described by an SU(2)$_L$ triplet of Majorana fermions, such as the wino. We use this framework to determine the high and…
We present a full one-loop calculation of the electroweak corrections to the partial decay widths of the fermionic modes of sfermions \Gamma(\sfermion \to f'\chi). The main technical points of the renormalization are presented, and the main…
In co-annihilation scenarios, the weakly interacting dark matter particle (WIMP) is close in mass to another particle that can decay into the WIMP. As a result, both particles freeze out at roughly the same time in the early universe, and…
Indirect searches for the cosmological dark matter have become ever more competitive during the past years. Here, we report the first full calculation of leading electroweak corrections to the annihilation rate of supersymmetric neutralino…
Corrections to the magnitudes of high redshift objects due to intergalactic attenuation are computed using current estimates of the properties of the intergalactic medium. The results of numerical simulations are used to estimate the…
The first order QED corrections to the polarized muon decay spectrum are considered. The exact dependence on electron and muon masses is kept. Numerical results are presented.
We show the impact of the electroweak, and in one instance the QCD, one-loop corrections on the relic density of dark matter in the MSSM which is provided by the lightest neutralino. We cover here some of the most important scenarii:…
Blurring of a photographic image by a wrong focus can be modeled by convolution. Is inversion a possible answer? This paper adds complements to a foregoing paper discussing convolution-inversion of some measures.
In the standard seesaw model, finite corrections to the neutrino mass matrix arise from one-loop self-energy diagrams mediated by a heavy neutrino. We discuss the impact that these corrections may have on the different low-energy neutrino…
