A calculation of the Sommerfeld enhancement is presented and applied to the problem of s-wave non-relativistic dark matter annihilation. The difference from previous computations in the literature is that the effect of the underlying…
We present analytical formulae for the Sommerfeld corrections to the annihilation of massive colored particles into quarks and gluons through the strong interaction. These corrections are essential to accurately compute the dark matter…
Thermal pair annihilation of heavy particles, such as dark matter or its co-annihilation partners, can be strongly influenced by attractive interactions. We investigate the case that pair annihilation proceeds through a velocity-suppressed…
We point out a selection rule for enhancement (suppression) of odd (even) partial waves of dark matter coannihilation or annihilation using Sommerfeld effect. Using this, the usually velocity-suppressed p-wave annihilation can dominate the…
The Sommerfeld factor for arbitrary partial wave processes is derived in the non-relativistic limit. The s-wave and p-wave numerical results are presented for the case of Yukawa interactions. An approximate analytic expression is also found…
The dark matter annihilation cross section can be amplified by orders of magnitude if the annihilation occurs into a narrow resonance, or if the dark-matter particles experience a long-range force before annihilation (Sommerfeld effect). We…
The calculation of P-wave Sommerfeld enhancement in processes with unstable particles in the final state is known to be divergent. In a complete description, where resonant (on-shell unstable particles) and non-resonant contributions are…
Coupling dark matter to light new particles is an attractive way to combine thermal production with strong velocity-dependent self-interactions. Here we point out that in such models the dark matter annihilation rate is generically enhanced…
We investigate the implication of unparticle exchange for the possible Sommerfeld enhancement in dark matter annihilation process. Assuming the unparticle exchange during WIMP collision, we solve the Schr\rm\ddot{o}dinger equation for the…
Dark matter self-scattering is one of key ingredients for small-scale structure of the Universe, while dark matter annihilation is important for the indirect measurements. There is a strong correlation between the velocity-dependent…
We show how easy it is to get the Sommerfeld enhancement for a Yukawa potential, for definite partial waves, beyond the S wave analyzed in previous literature. In particular, we report results for the P wave (for which there is a resonant…
We propose that a pair of annihilation of the secluded dark matter may accommodate a source of the halo gamma ray signal reported recently, through the p-wave Sommerfeld enhancement. We show that given a weakly coupling of the dark sector…
If dark matter couples directly to a light force mediator, then it may form bound states in the early universe and in the non-relativistic environment of haloes today. In this work, we establish a field-theoretic framework for the…
In this work, a recently developed novel solution of the famous "Sommerfeld Radiation Problem" is revisited. The solution is based on an analysis performed entirely in the spectral domain, through which a compact asymptotic formula…
A method for solving the half-space Sommerfeld problem is proposed, which allows us to obtain exact solutions in the form of Sommerfeld integrals, as well as their short-wave asymptotics. The first carried out by reducing the Sommerfeld…
We scrutinize the Sommerfeld enhancement in dark matter pair annihilation for $p$-wave and higher-$\ell$ partial waves. For the Yukawa potential these feature a super-resonant Breit-Wigner peak in their velocity-dependence close to…
The simulation of light scattering by particles on a substrate with the $T$-matrix method relies on the expansion of the scattered field in spherical waves, followed by a plane wave expansion to allow the evaluation of the reflection from…
We derive a new integral equation that allows the calculation of the scattering or annihilation amplitude of two particles subjected to two potentials when the corresponding amplitude for one potential only is known. We assume that…
In the effective field theory (EFT) description of binary inspirals, the radiated gravitational waveform receives universal corrections from the curved background, the so-called ``tail effects'', that resum into the so-called ``Sommerfeld…
Assuming that two incoming annihilating particles interact by a generally massive attractive vector potential,we find, by taking the non-relativistic limit of the field theory ladder diagrams, that the complete annihilation amplitude A is…
