We present a detailed discussion of Sommerfeld enhancements in neutralino dark matter relic abundance calculations for several popular benchmark scenarios in the general MSSM. Our analysis is focused on models with heavy wino- and higgsino-like neutralino LSP and models interpolating between these two scenarios. This work is the first phenomenological application of effective field theory methods that we have developed in earlier work and that allow for the consistent study of Sommerfeld enhancements in non-relativistic neutralino and chargino co-annihilation reactions within the general MSSM, away from the pure-wino and pure-higgsino limits.

  1. Higgs boson mass and thermal wino dark matter from Starobinsky supergravity with the MSSM

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Starobinsky supergravity coupled to the MSSM links the CMB inflationary scale to the Higgs boson mass (~125 GeV) and predicts thermal wino dark matter at ~3 TeV, testable at future colliders and direct detection experiments.

  2. Weak corrections to Minimal Dark Matter annihilations

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    One-loop weak corrections to fermionic MDM annihilation cross sections are computed, with IR divergences canceling in the s-wave and 5% effects in doublet, triplet, and quintuplet cases.

  3. A critical look at low-scale cosmological phase transitions in the PTA era

    hep-ph 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Precision study of dark sector phase transitions finds PTA-favored parameters near EFT breakdown with disfavored GW signals after higher-order corrections.
