We investigate the phenomenology of a simplified model with a Majorana fermion as dark matter candidate which interacts with Standard Model quarks via a colour-charged coannihilation partner. Recently it has been realized that non-perturbative dynamics, including the Sommerfeld effect, bound state formation/dissociation and thermal corrections, play an important role in coannihilations with coloured mediators. This calls for a careful analysis of thermal freeze-out and a new look at the experimental signatures expected for a thermal relic. We employ a state of the art calculation of the relic density which makes use of a non-relativistic effective theory framework and calculate the effective annihilation rates by solving a plasma-modified Schrodinger equation. We determine the cosmologically preferred parameter space and confront it with current experimental limits and future prospects for dark matter detection.

Effective field theories for dark matter pairs in the early universe: Debye mass effects
Debye mass resummation reduces bound-state dark matter depletion by up to a factor of two relative to fixed-order NLO, changing relic abundance predictions by a few percent.

Connecting $t$-channel Dark Matter Models to the Standard Model Effective Field Theory
One-loop SMEFT Wilson coefficients for leptophilic t-channel dark matter, combined with global fits, exclude large coupling regions, especially C_ell_ell for doublet mediators and C_ed above 3 TeV.
