We point out that thermal relic abundance of the dark matter is strongly altered by a non-perturbative effect called the Sommerfeld enhancement, when constituent particles of the dark matter are non-singlet under the SU(2)_L gauge interaction and much heavier than the weak gauge bosons. Typical candidates for such dark matter particles are the heavy wino- and higgsino-like neutralinos. We investigate the non-perturbative effect on the relic abundance of dark matter for the wino-like neutralino as an example. We show that its thermal abundance is reduced by 50% compared to the perturbative result. The wino-like neutralino mass consistent with the observed dark matter abundance turns out to be 2.7 TeV < m < 3.0 TeV.

  1. Accidentally Stable Dark Matter in a Parity Solution to the Strong CP Problem

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    SU(2)_L×SU(2)_R bi-triplet fermions are accidentally stable dark matter in a parity solution to strong CP, with relic abundance forcing v_R ≲ 150 TeV.

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

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  3. 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.

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The full three-loop electron EDM from CP-violating SU(2)_L multiplet Yukawa interactions is exactly three times larger (at leading order) than the electroweak-Weinberg operator contribution alone.

  5. Stellar-like Galactic center excess challenges particle dark matter

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A mixed stellar-bulge and dark-matter fit to Fermi-LAT Galactic Center data yields upper limits on the annihilation cross section that reach the thermal relic line for masses ≲300 GeV under a contracted NFW halo profile.

  6. Upper Bound on Parity Breaking Scale for Doublet WIMP Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a Parity-symmetric extension of the Standard Model with doublet-pair WIMP dark matter, thermal relic abundance requires the Parity breaking scale to be below 25-60 TeV.

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Fermi-LAT data exclude the lower end of the Minimal Dark Matter 5-plet thermal mass window, while about 600 hours of CTAO observations of Ursa Major II could probe the central mass.
