Annihilation of different dark matter (DM) candidates into Standard Model (SM) particles could be detected through their contribution to the gamma ray fluxes that are measured on the Earth. The magnitude of such contributions depends on the particular DM candidate, but certain imprints of produced photon spectra may be analyzed in a model-independent fashion. In this work we provide the fitting formulae for the photon spectra generated by WIMP annihilation into quarks, leptons and gauge bosons channels in a wide range of WIMP masses.

We provide precise predictions for the hard photon spectrum resulting from neutral SU$(2)_W$ triplet (wino) dark matter annihilation. Our calculation is performed utilizing an effective field theory expansion around the endpoint region where the phot
on energy is near the wino mass. This has direct relevance to line searches at indirect detection experiments. We compute the spectrum at next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) accuracy within the framework established by a factorization formula derived previously by our collaboration. This allows simultaneous resummation of large Sudakov logarithms (arising from a restricted final state) and Sommerfeld effects. Resummation at NLL accuracy shows good convergence of the perturbative series due to the smallness of the electroweak coupling constant - scale variation yields uncertainties on our NLL prediction at the level of $5%$. We highlight a number of interesting field theory effects that appear at NLL associated with the presence of electroweak symmetry breaking, which should have more general applicability. We also study the importance of using the full spectrum as compared with a single endpoint bin approximation when computing experimental limits. Our calculation provides a state of the art prediction for the hard photon spectrum that can be easily generalized to other DM candidates, allowing for the robust interpretation of data collected by current and future indirect detection experiments.
In this work we provide the fitting formula valid for the simulated photon spectra from WIMP annihilation into light quark-anti quark (qq-) channels in a wide range of WIMP masses. We illustrate our results for the cc- channel.
In this talk, we discuss the physics modelling of particle spectra arising from dark matter (DM) annihilation or decay. In the context of the indirect searches of DM, the final state products will, in general, undergo a set of complicated processes s
uch as resonance decays, QED/QCD radiation, hadronisation and hadron decays. This set of processes lead to stable particles (photons, positrons, anti-protons, and neutrinos among others) which travel for very long distances before reaching the detectors. The modelling of their spectra contains some uncertainties which are often neglected in the relevant analyses. We discuss the sources of these uncertainties and estimate their impact on photon energy spectra for benchmark DM scenarios with $m_chi in [10, 1000],$GeV. Instructions for how to retrieve complete tables from Zenodo are also provided.
We present a scenario of vector dark matter production during inflation containing a complex inflaton field which is charged under a dark gauge field and which has a symmetry breaking potential. As the inflaton field rolls towards the global minimum
of the potential the dark photons become massive with a mass which can be larger than the Hubble scale during inflation. The accumulated energy of the quantum fluctuations of the produced dark photons gives the observed relic density of the dark matter for a wide range of parameters. Depending on the parameters, either the transverse modes or the longitudinal mode or their combination can generate the observed dark matter relic energy density.
We systematically investigate the preheating behavior of single field inflation with an oscillon-supporting potential. We compute the properties of the emitted gravitational waves (GWs) and the number density and characteristics of the produced oscil
lons. By performing numerical simulations for a variety of potential types, we divide the analyzed potentials in two families, each of them containing potentials with varying large- or small-field dependence. We find that the shape and amplitude of the emitted GW spectrum have a universal feature, with the peak around the physical wavenumber $k/a sim m$ at the inflaton oscillation period, irrespective of the exact potential shape. This can be used as a smoking-gun for deducing the existence of a violent preheating phase and possible oscillon formation after inflation. Despite this apparent universality, we find differences in the shape of the emitted GW spectra between the two potential families, leading to discriminating features between them. In particular, all potentials show the emergence of a two-peak structure in the GW spectrum, arising at the time of oscillon formation. However, potentials exhibiting efficient parametric resonance tend to smear out this structure and by the end of the simulation the GW spectrum exhibits a single broad peak. We further compute the properties of the produced oscillons for each potential, finding differences in the number density and size distribution of stable oscillons and transient overdensities. We perform a linear fluctuation analysis and use Floquet charts to relate the results of our simulations to the structure of parametric resonance. We find that the growth rate of scalar perturbations and the associated oscillon formation time are sensitive to the small-field potential shape while the macroscopic physical properties of oscillons (e.g. total number) depend on the large-field potential shape.
