Matrix element analyses of dark matter scattering and annihilation
read the original abstract
We provide a compendium of results at the level of matrix elements for a systematic study of dark matter scattering and annihilation. We identify interactions that yield spin-dependent and spin-independent scattering and specify whether the interactions are velocity- and/or momentum-suppressed. We identify the interactions that lead to s-wave or p-wave annihilation, and those that are chirality-suppressed. We also list the interaction structures that can interfere in scattering and annihilation processes. Using these results, we point out situations in which deviations from the standard lore are obtained.

Irreducible Constraints on Hadronically Interacting Sub-GeV Dark Matter
Sub-GeV dark matter that interacts hadronically is ruled out for nucleon scattering cross sections above 10^{-36} cm² across the keV to 100 MeV mass range by combined cosmological and particle-decay constraints.
