This paper concludes the presentation of the non-relativistic effective field theory formalism designed to calculate the radiative corrections that enhance the pair-annihilation cross sections of slowly moving neutralinos and charginos within the general minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). While papers I and II focused on the computation of the tree-level annihilation rates that feed into the short-distance part, here we describe in detail the method to obtain the Sommerfeld factors that contain the enhanced long-distance corrections. This includes the computation of the potential interactions in the MSSM, which are provided in compact analytic form, and a novel solution of the multi-state Schr\"odinger equation that is free from the numerical instabilities generated by large mass splittings between the scattering states. Our results allow for a precise computation of the MSSM neutralino dark matter relic abundance and pair-annihilation rates in the present Universe, when Sommerfeld enhancements are important.

  1. An effective field theory for muon conversion and muon decay-in-orbit

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A five-stage EFT tower factorizes QED corrections to muon conversion and decay-in-orbit near the endpoint, yielding a resummed NLL-corrected signal shape.

  2. Weak corrections to Minimal Dark Matter annihilations

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    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. On the coverage of neutralino dark matter in coannihilations at the upgraded LHC

    hep-ph 2019-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Projected HE-LHC searches could rule out neutralino dark matter up to 2.6, 1.7, and 0.8 TeV in gluino, stop, and wino coannihilation scenarios, but not in stau coannihilation.
