Indirect and direct detection prospect for TeV dark matter in the nine parameter MSSM

Capabilities beyond Gamma Rays

“…Similar studies can be found in Ref. [86,105]. It can be seen that for models with M χ > 500 GeV CTA will be the only experiment able to probe the vast majority of models.…”

A global fit of the MSSM with GAMBIT

“…4.4.3 of the companion paper [166], radiative corrections in particular, e.g. [257][258][259], as well as Sommerfeld enhancement [73,[260][261][262], are further effects that we have not taken into account here. For parts of the parameter space this leads to increased annihilation rates and/or distinct spectral features, which are much easier to constrain or identify with experiments than the featureless gamma-ray spectra from the final states that we have considered here.…”

Sommerfeld-corrected relic abundance of wino dark matter with NLO electroweak potentials

“…Hisano et al [1][2][3] recognized that despite the fundamentally weak coupling, the annihilation cross section of DM particles with mass m χ above a TeV is substantially enhanced by attractive forces that become effectively strong between slowly moving DM particles, the so-called Sommerfeld effect. For minimal DM models and the minimal supersymmetric standard model, this non-perturbative effect is by now routinely included at leading order in the calculation of the forces in both, the prediction of signals of annihilating DM in cosmic ray fluxes [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], and computations of relic abundance [15][16][17][18]. The effect also appears in non-WIMP DM models, as long as there exists a suitable hierarchy between the DM mass and the mass of a light boson coupled to it [19].…”
