Electroweak nonsinglet dark matter annihilation may be significantly enhanced by nonperturbative effects, particularly for producing two photons. Future gamma-ray searches could detect these signals from the galactic center.

Area of Science:

  • Cosmology
  • Particle Physics
  • Astrophysics

Background:

  • Dark matter (DM) constitutes a significant portion of the universe's mass.
  • Understanding dark matter's nature and interactions is crucial for cosmology.
  • Electroweak gauge nonsinglets are a class of dark matter candidates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate pair annihilation processes of electroweak gauge nonsinglet dark matter.
  • To explore the impact of nonperturbative effects on dark matter annihilation cross sections.
  • To assess the detectability of dark matter annihilation signals in future gamma-ray observations.

Main Methods:

  • Theoretical study of dark matter pair annihilation.
  • Analysis of nonperturbative effects on annihilation cross sections.

  • Discussion of sensitivity in future gamma-ray searches.

    • Main Results:

    • Nonperturbative effects can enhance dark matter annihilation cross sections by orders of magnitude.
    • The enhancement is particularly significant for the two-photon annihilation channel.
    • Annihilation signals are expected to originate from the galactic center.

    Conclusions:

    • Electroweak gauge nonsinglet dark matter annihilation is potentially observable.
    • Nonperturbative effects play a crucial role in enhancing annihilation signals.
    • Future gamma-ray telescopes may detect anomalous signals from dark matter annihilation.
