RELIC DENSITY AND PAMELA EVENTS IN A HEAVY WINO DARK MATTER MODEL WITH SOMMERFELD EFFECT

RELIC DENSITY AND PAMELA EVENTS IN A HEAVY WINO DARK MATTER MODEL WITH SOMMERFELD EFFECT

In a wino LSP scenario the annihilation cross section of winos gravitationally bound in galaxies can be boosted by a Sommerfeld enhancement factor which arises due to the ladder of exchanged W bosons between the initial states. The boost factor obtained can be in the range S ~ 10^4 if …
