Title: Heavy Dark Matter Annihilation from Effective Field Theory

Abstract

We formulate here an effective field theory description for $$\mathrm{SU}(2{)}_{L}$$ triplet fermionic dark matter by combining nonrelativistic dark matter with gauge bosons in the soft-collinear effective theory. For a given dark matter mass, the annihilation cross section to line photons is obtained with 5% precision by simultaneously including Sommerfeld enhancement and the resummation of electroweak Sudakov logarithms at next-to-leading logarithmic order. Using these results, we present more accurate and precise predictions for the gamma-ray line signal from annihilation, updating both existing constraints and the reach of future experiments.

FIG. 1 FIG. 1: Resummed leading and next-to-leading logarithmic electroweak corrections for χ+χ0χ0 →ZZ,Zγ,γγ. Only high scale variation by a factor of 2 from $μ_{m_{χ}}$ = 2mχ is shown. Low scale variation has a 20% smaller error band for the top plot and a 5% bigger error band for the bottom plot.
