We revisit the one-loop calculation of the annihilation of a pair of the lightest neutralinos into a pair of photons, a pair of gluons and also a Z photon final state. For the latter we have identified a new contribution that may not always…
The neutralino pair annihilation into two photons in our galactic halo gives a robust dark matter signal, since it would give a quasi-monotonic gamma ray. This process is radiatively-induced, and the full-one loop calculation was done…

We calculate, using unitarity, a lower bound on the branching ratio $\chi\chi\to \gamma\gamma$ and $\chi\chi\to \gamma Z$, where $\chi$ is any halo dark matter particle that has $W^+W^-$ as one of the major annihilation modes. Examples of…
We calculate one-loop corrections to the decays of the next-to-lightest neutralino $\tilde{\chi}_2^0$ into the lightest neutralino $\tilde{\chi}_1^0$ and two leptons; this includes diagrams where a real photon is emitted. In cases where…

We study properties of the lightest neutralino (\chi) and calculate its cosmological relic density in a supersymmetric U(1)' model with a secluded U(1)' breaking sector (the S-model). The lightest neutralino mass is smaller than in the…
We explore the prospects for indirect detection of neutralino dark matter in supersymmetric models with an extended Higgs sector (NMSSM). We compute, for the first time, one-loop amplitudes for NMSSM neutralino pair annihilation into two…
The annihilation cross section of TeV scale dark matter particles $\chi^0$ with electroweak charges into photons is affected by large quantum corrections due to Sudakov logarithms and the Sommerfeld effect. We calculate the semi-inclusive…

Recent advances in N-body simulations of cold dark matter halos point to a substantial density enhancement near the center. This means that, e.g., the $\gamma$ ray signals from neutralino dark matter annihilations would be significantly…
