Sommerfeld enhancement: general results from field theory diagrams
Abstract. 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 equal to: the convolution of a solution of the Schroedinger equation (including the vector potential) with the Fourier transform of the bare (i.e. ...
متن کاملSommerfeld enhancement from Goldstone pseudo-scalar exchange
We point out that the exchange of a Goldstone pseudo-scalar can provide an enhancement in the dark matter annihilation rate capable of explaining the excess flux seen in high energy cosmic ray data. The mechanism of enhancement involves the coupling of s and d waves through the tensor force that is very strong and, in fact, singular at short distances. The results indicate that large enhancemen...
متن کاملSubstructure Boosts to Dark Matter Annihilation from Sommerfeld Enhancement
The recently introduced Sommerfeld enhancement of the dark matter annihilation cross section has important implications for the detection of dark matter annihilation in subhalos in the Galactic halo. In addition to the boost to the dark matter annihilation cross section from the high densities of these subhalos with respect to the main halo, an additional boost caused by the Sommerfeld enhancem...
متن کاملPerturbative diagrams in string field theory
A general algorithm is presented which gives a closed-form expression for an arbitrary perturbative diagram of cubic string field theory at any loop order. For any diagram, the resulting expression is given by an integral of a function of several infinite matrices, each built from a finite number of blocks containing the Neumann coefficients of Witten’s 3-string vertex. The closed-form expressi...
متن کاملDerivation of Poincare Invariance from general quantum field theory
Starting from a very general quantum field theory we seek to derive Poincaré invariance in the limit of low energy excitations. We do not, of course, assume these symmetries at the outset, but rather only a very general second quantised model. Many of the degrees of freedom on which the fields depend turn out to correspond to a higher dimension. We are not yet perfectly successful. In particula...
