Sommerfeld enhancement: general results from field theory diagrams
نویسنده
چکیده
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. ignoring the attraction) annihilation amplitude A0. The main novelty is that A0 is completely arbitrary. In particular for a massless vector potential we find for the l-partial-wave cross-section the Sommerfeld enhancement 2π/l!(α/v) (v relative velocity), e.g. for the P wave the enhancement 2π(α/v).

Heavy dark matter annihilation from effective field theory.
We formulate an effective field theory description for 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 lo...
متن کاملSommerfeld and Zenneck Wave Propagation for a Finitely Conducting One-Dimensional Rough Surface
Starting with Zenneck and Sommerfeld wave propagation over a flat finitely conducting surface has been extensively studied by Wait and many other authors. In this paper, we examine propagation over a finitely conducting rough surface, also studied by many people including Feinberg, Bass, Fuks, and Barrick. This paper extends the multiple scattering theories based on Dyson and Bethe–Salpeter equ...
متن کاملSommerfeld Particle in Static Magnetic Field: Tunneling and Delayed Untwisting in Cyclotron
Motion of a charged particle with finite size, described by Sommerfeld model, in static magnetic field has two peculiar features: 1.) there is the effect of tunneling Sommerfeld particle overcomes the barrier and finds itself in the forbidden, from classical point of view, area; 2.) the untwisting of trajectory in cyclotron for Sommerfeld particle is strongly delayed compared to that of a class...
متن کاملOne-dimensional combined field and thermionic emission model and comparison with experimental results
An integrated theoretical model has been developed to predict the entire range of emission from thermionic to field emission, including the mixed emission regime. The model assumes a Sommerfeld free electron model supply function, for which the Fermi-Dirac distribution applies with a nonzero temperature. The electron transmission coefficient is calculated in one dimension using a transfer matri...
متن کاملConstraining the Sommerfeld enhancement with Cherenkov telescope observations of dwarf galaxies
The presence of dark matter in the halo of our galaxy could be revealed through indirect detection of annihilation products. Dark matter annihilation is one of the possible interpretations of the recent measured excesses in positron and electron fluxes, once boost factors of the order of 10 or more are taken into account. Such boost factors are actually achievable through the velocity-dependent...
